Teenager’s water discovery

It all started when Maria Elena Grimmett noticed that the well water at her family home in Florida, USA, wasn’t
clear – in fact, it was light brown. When she was only eleven years old, she began to investigate what was
causing the problem and discovered that it was connected to water pollution.
The pollution was caused by medicines that entered the water. These medicines were used on farm animals by
vets. She discovered that this type of water pollution is common in the countryside where there are a lot of
farms. She was angry and wondered why people were allowing this to happen.
After six years of research, Grimmett invented a way of removing the medicine from the water. When the
medicine enters the water, it creates bacteria which can’t be removed easily. These bacteria then become a
serious problem for people’s health in the area. Her invention was to use a material called MN250, which she
describes as being like tiny plastic balls. The balls have chemicals that make them sticky, and these balls can
then attract and remove the medicine from the water. She hopes that her invention will help water engineers
to design systems that could clean the water on a much larger scale.
In 2013, Grimmett became the youngest author to publish original research in the Journal of Environmental
Quality. She also won a $100,000 award, which she plans to use to do further research at university.
Grimmett is certainly a rising star in the science community, and it will be interesting to see her future
achievements.
