Purpose
Developed for Mapua University to detect harmful chemicals in bodies of water — cyanide, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and lead — and measure their concentration using a color sensor, with results validated through statistical t-test analysis.
Description
The system reads RGB values from a color sensor wired to an Arduino, averages multiple samples to stabilize readings, and classifies the chemical type and concentration against calibrated color ranges. Results display on a 16x2 LCD, and readings are serialized as JSON for downstream analysis. Accuracy was validated against known samples using a t-test, confirming the sensor-based approach as a viable low-cost method for water contamination screening.
