Sensors for continuous monitoring of toxic ions, nutrients, and dissolved gases in water
Abstract
Ion-selective electrodes and a new type of dissolved gas sensor based on piezoelectric crystals were assessed for use in continuous monitoring of water quality. Relevant stream and effluent water quality standards were reviewed in order to define the constraints on the use of these sensors. The use of sensors in continuous monitoring programs in the United States and other countries was also examined and reviewed. The state-of-the-art of ion selective electrodes for toxic ions, nutrients and dissolved gases in water was reviewed. A tabular summary of electrode characteristics and an extensive bibliography were compiled.
