Biodegradable sensor monitors levels of pesticides via direct contact with surface of fruit and vegetables

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) in Brazil have developed a sustainable sensor that can be placed directly on the surface of a vegetable or fruit to detect the presence of pesticides. Known for this reason as "plant-wearable‚" it is made of cellulose acetate‚ a material derived from wood pulp.
