Device to check for harmful chemicals in vegetables and fruits
Also Available Domains WSN
Objective
The main objective of the project is to develop a device that would identify and measure the amount of harmful chemicals present on the skin and inside the vegetables and fruits
Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are highly nutritious and form as key food commodity in the human consumption. They are highly perishable due to their low shelf life. These food commodities are reported to be contaminated with toxic and health hazardous chemicals. Chemicals like calcium carbide / ethephon and oxytocin are reportedly being used in fruit and vegetable mandis / farms for artificial ripening of fruits and for increasing the size of fruits and vegetables respectively. Calcium carbide more commonly known as ‘masala’ is a carcinogenic agent and banned under PFA Rules, 1955. Ethephon is a pesticide and so it is not recommended as a ripening enhancer. Oxytocin is a mammalian hormone, used as a drug in veterinary services which is not advised for use in fresh fruits and vegetables. To detect that gas sensor placed and estimate the chemical levels present in fruits and vegetables. For this we are using dht11 and the gas sensor, if any detected immediate alert is sent through GSM to the owner.
