Reason for applying
“Mercury in gold mining continues to be a major issue and a leading source of pollution. The incumbent analytical methods are often too expensive or complex to address the hazards. We have a better solution that is low-cost, robust, and portable. The ASM Grand Challenge presented an opportunity to reach more stakeholders in this global effort, grow our business, and prioritize the most deserving needs. ”
