Researchers at the University Johannesburg have developed an efficient and more sensitive method to test for dangerous levels of heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium and chromium in vegetables and water. The method can be used to test other foods, also. It is possible to test for several metals at the same time and the process can be automated. The process involves technology readily available in laboratories in developing countries.
