Our Project
The two most prominent industries in all of Canada are agriculture and the energy section, more commonly referred to as the oil patch. These two businesses are what make the country, and many other countries, thrive. Apart, they are each a strong influence on the economy of the world. After all, food and power are what make the world go around. But imagine an oil spill on lease land - land that houses both growing crops or cattle and an oil pumpjack - can do. Together, oil and agriculture can pose a problem. So, how can we protect this fine line between a contaminated food source and a safe food source?
The Solution
ECOS (Environmental COntaminant Sensor) is a biological sensor theorized to detect the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons, which are found in oil, and respond by producing an indicator protein according to how much xylene is present in a soil sample.
