| Abstract | Many human activities since the Industrial Revolution are known to produce harmful chemical byproducts, of which heavy metals in low concentration are common. However, current methods of heavy metal salt detection in water are not widely accessible. Experimentation involved C. elegans nematodes exposed to heavy metals to investigate efficient and reliable methods of heavy metal toxicity detection in water. |
