One-third of the world’s children have blood lead levels exceeding the WHO’s recommended level, with water being a primary source.
The E-Tongue is a low-cost device that allows homeowners to test their tap water for lead, providing accurate results within five minutes.
Lead exposure can have severe irreversible effects, especially on young children and pregnant women, including reduced IQ and damage to the brain.
The E-Tongue's effectiveness in detecting lead in tap water was confirmed in a citizen science project involving 317 residents across four Massachusetts towns.
