PCR is not just for labs. Environmental monitoring uses it extensively
Absolutely! PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is widely used in environmental monitoring to detect and quantify microorganisms, pollutants, and genetic material in various environments. It’s especially valuable in monitoring water quality, soil health, and even air quality by identifying pathogens or tracing contamination sources. PCR’s sensitivity and ability to target specific DNA sequences make it an essential tool in environmental science.
