EPA awards $210,000 to three So. Calif. small businesses
Abstract:
The Southern Calif. companies are NaSource Company of Newbury Park, Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. of Torrance and Seacoast Science, Inc. of Carlsbad. Each business was awarded $70,000 to develop innovative techniques for green buildings, nanotechnology, and water protection, respectively.
· Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. will develop a technology that uses the properties of nanoparticles to detect waterborne pathogens. The proposed system will be used in water treatment facilities, food testing and medical applications and allow the detection of several different pathogens simultaneously.
