Online Toximeter that continually checks drinking and surface water for pollutants.
LAR’s toxicity analyzer ToxAlarm continually monitors drinking and surface water for pollutants. Whether by accident, negligence or with intention – it only takes a small amount of a harmful substance to pollute a large amount of water such as rivers, lakes, dams, as well as, drinking water reservoirs. Therefore, it should be continually monitored. Potential toxins in water are determined through the reaction of highly sensitive bacteria. The measurements follow at intervals of less than 5 minutes. Thus allowing enough time to introduce countermeasures after the occurance of pollution.
