8:30 Window on the World

The World Health Organisation says more than 35 million Bangladeshis have been chronically exposed to arsenic in their drinking water, and about 40,000 die of arsenicosis every year. The field test for it is inaccurate and prone to human error. Most Bangladeshis drink from wells in their back yards which haven't been tested for years, if at all. But now a gadget is being developed which will allow anyone to test a well cheaply, instantly and accurately.
