Environmental toxins contamination is a big concern for water and food security. The current detection methods are laborious, time-consuming, expensive, and require adequate training. Moreover, there needs to be community involvement in regularly monitoring and reporting of environmental toxins. Therefore, we innovate an on-site environmental toxins system known as MicStripTM Connect, which integrates detection toolkit, mobile application and cloud storage. MicStripTM Connect is user-friendly and portable for on-site, timely monitoring and reporting purposes. Users can seamlessly report and monitor on-site toxin analysis results via the mobile application. It empowers the communities to take prompt actions for public health.
