Article Synopsis
- - A study in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand, looked at a tech-based program to improve water quality and tackle health issues like kidney disease and skin problems in communities near key water bodies.
- - The research involved water quality tests and health evaluations of 586 residents and used a Learning Innovation Platform (LIP) across 13 communities.
- - Results indicated significant improvements, including reduced hypertension and better community skills in water assessments, showcasing the effectiveness of a tech-driven approach to enhance public health and environmental management.
We report the production and characterization of effective amperometric sensors for cathodic hydrogen peroxide (HO) detection. The proposed electrodes involve a combination of a HO-signaling Prussian Blue (PB)/carbon nanotube (CNT) layer with a glaze of the biopolymers gelatin (top) and zein (beneath) for protection against PB leakage. The sandwich-type sensor was constructed through simple "drop and dry" steps with (1) suspensions of the CNTs in a soluble PB solution, (2) zein in ethanol, and (3) gelatin in water, applied sequentially to the carbon working electrode disk of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) platform.
