The video presents the Edinburgh University iGEM project focused on making a biosensor that detects both the presence of TNT and nitrites/nitrates.

In 2007, 5 426 new casualties were recorded from landmine explosions. 71% of these casualties were civilians (further 46% of the civilian casualties were children). This made us realise the need for the production of a cheap, safe and accurate method that can be applied in a big scale to help detect landmines. A synthetic organism could be just what is needed.
