In Situ Monitoring of Aquatic Systems
Chemical Analysis and Speciation
IUPAC Series on Analytical and Physical Chemistry of Environmental Systems
April 2001
642 Pages, Softcover

This outstanding volume enables researchers to develop robust
sensors and instruments for automatic 'on site' measurement of
water quality. The need for an efficient multi-parameter monitoring
system is ever-increasing, given that human activity is impacting
so greatly on ecosystems and the increased need to develop our
understanding of the underlying environmental processes.
Edited by two renowned experts, this book evaluates developments
over the last 10-20 years which will form the basis of future
sophisticated in situ monitoring systems. The emphasis is on
micro-analytical monitoring techniques and microtechnology.
* Critically discusses the state of the art of existing techniques
and devices
* Overviews what can be expected in terms of performance
* Outlines possible improvements in the future
This book will be invaluable to both researchers interested in the
development of environmental monitoring systems and laboratories in
charge of water quality assessment by providing them with a
critical evaluation of existing and possible future options.
