GE Scientists Developing Wearable RFID Sensors to Detect Airborne Chemical Agents

Because GE's RFID sensor can be made at a size smaller than a penny, it could be made part of a typical identification badge and serve as a pre-emptive or early warning for people about the presence of chemical agents in the air. Detecting chemical agents in this way could provide more information about the relationship between a person's health and environmental exposure. (Photo: Business Wire)
