Dr. CHOW Cheuk Fai Stephen - Development and Application of Novel Supramolecular Devices for Detecting and Destroying of Pesticides
Chief Investigator:
Dr. CHOW Cheuk Fai Stephen
Project Year:
2016-2017
Description:
Practical and cost-effective treatment of pesticides has been a long-standing challenge in our modern society. Since after World War II, organo-pesticides have been widely used in the agricultural industries. Even today, organo-pesticides in use have high toxicity, very poor degradability and tend to accumulate in our environment. In addition to using regulatory and legislative tools to control the pollution, new technology to determine the level of contaminants and subsequently degrade them into harmless components is highly desirable.
