MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511006413 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on January 27, 2025, for A Novel Technique To Detect Heavy Metal Contamination Sources In The Environment.

Inventors include Prasann Kumar; Onkar Hirwe; Manisha Sharma; and Polu Picheswara Rao.

The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for detecting and tracing heavy metal contamination sources in environmental resources like soil and water. It uses a network of advanced, multi-layered sensors that specifically detect heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. The system integrates real-time data processing with artificial intelligence (AI) for pattern recognition and contamination source prediction, incorporating environmental context like temperature and pH. A Geographic Information System (GIS) maps contamination hotspots and tracks pollutant dispersion. The system offers scalable, autonomous operation with low power consumption, providing accurate, real-time monitoring and early detection. It supports informed decision-making, regulatory compliance, and sustainable environmental management, making it a powerful tool for environmental agencies and industries.
