Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Increasing concern about pollution, our health, and our safety has increased our tendency to monitor all aspects of our environment. In the future portable sensing systems will be available to monitor almost everything of interest to us. The heart of these sensing systems will be chemical sensors - devices which detect and measure very small amounts of chemicals. Assuming no prior knowledge of chemistry, this book explains in a clear and concise manner how these devices work.
Bibliography: p. 70-71. - Includes index.
Monitoring our environment -- Solid state potentiometric chemical sensors -- Polymer membrane potentiometric chemical sensors -- Some practical aspects of the use of potentiometric chemical sensors -- Voltammetric-based chemical sensors -- Optical chemical sensors -- Calorimetric sensors -- Solid-electrolyte and semiconductor gas sensors -- Mass sensors -- The future.
