Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Avoid using the phrase "detected into" in formal writing. Instead, opt for more grammatically correct alternatives such as "detected in" or "identified within".
Common error
Be careful when choosing prepositions after "detected". The preposition "into" typically implies movement or transformation, which doesn't fit the context of detecting something's presence. Use "in" when indicating location or presence. For example, prefer saying "the presence of lead was detected in the water supply" over "the presence of lead was detected into the water supply".
