Resumen de Flushed with success
Marks highlights a network of sewer sensors that could spot signs of homemade explosives or drugs. Bomb-makers or chemists with Breaking Bad crystal-meth labs better watch out. A sewer system full of chemical sensors could sniff out their homemade labs as part of a 4.5 million European Union-funded research program called Emphasis. The idea is that once a sewer sensor finds telltale traces of home-brewed explosives, it sounds an alarm and a police team carrying a portable, high-resolution sensing unit can be dispatched to narrow the search and pinpoint the exact location. The technique could also be modified to look for signs of illegal drug factories.
