To keep drinking water clean, experts are constantly
monitoring our supply to check it for contaminants. Now laser technology will
give them a helping hand: a new system automatically analyzes water samples at
the waterworks itself.
In today’s world, we simply cannot do without lasers. We use
them to print out documents, play CDs or DVDs, weld, cut, or bend car
components, survey roads, monitor our bloodstream, and even remove tumors from
our bodies.
