CheckLight announced that the Chinese Environmental Ministry has urgently requested more of its water testing systems to determine if there was major water pollution caused by the earthquake which struck in May. The kits will be used by local teams to detect and warn of any dangerous infiltration of chemical contaminants into drinking water sources in the earth quake stricken area due to reported damage to numerous chemical plants in the effected region.
