This is the first volume of a two-volume set which looks at the various sensor systems used for monitoring the environmental effects of manufacturing industry. It illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of these systems for monitoring programmes.

Sensor Systems for Environmental Monitoring Summary

Sensor Systems for Environmental Monitoring: Volume One: Sensor Technologies by M. Campbell

Stringent legislation is forcing manufacturing industry to be aware of the impact its operations have on the environment, in order to control and reduce the affect of those operations. Increasingly sophisticated equipment is required for this monitoring, and development of that equipment and strategies for its use is a multi-disciplinary field involving chemists, analytical scientists and engineers. This volume is divided into two parts, the first introducing the reader to the various sensor systems and illustrating the advantages and disadvantages those systems have for monitoring programmes, and the second introducing the problems associated with environmental monitoring, and showing how the sensors discussed in the first section can be applied to produce a thorough monitoring programme.
