Social Issues
Heavy metals enter water sources due to poor industrial & agricultural practices, electronic wastes, degraded water pipes. Bathing with or consuming water contaminated with heavy metals leads to various health issues from skin irritation to chronic diseases.
Each year in Vietnam, there are:
9,000 deaths + 250,000 hospitalizations + 200,000 cancer cases linked to water pollution (Unicef, 2021)
-> People in Vietnam are worried about their health.
Root Causes
Insufficient public awareness and tools to make informed decisions.
Current Solutions
Devices, services, and systems are complicated, costly, more suitable for industrial/professional used,
Most are not real-time or detecting heavy metals.
Our Solutions
H2Ostat, a device that informs of potential total heavy metals contamination. It’s small sized, light weight, cost effective, reliable and easy to use for any average household.
