A device designed for the detection of a specific aromatic hydrocarbon in aqueous solutions, it provides a method for determining the presence and, in some cases, the concentration of this potentially harmful substance in water samples. For instance, these kits could be employed to analyze well water, industrial wastewater, or treated drinking water supplies.
The significance of these testing solutions stems from the toxicity and potential carcinogenic effects associated with even low levels of this compound in drinking water. Their utility extends to ensuring regulatory compliance, protecting public health, and monitoring the effectiveness of remediation efforts in areas where contamination has occurred. Historically, less accessible and more expensive laboratory methods were required for such analyses.
