Water Quality Sensing and Detection Method

Chemical sensors and biosensors are an emerging area of research as they offer dynamic and quantitative analysis of toxic compounds in water. Understanding the presence and levels of these compounds is of fundamental importance to engineers and scientists in a range of disciplines (water quality, environmental health, and industrial processes). Continuing to enhance the level of detection is crucial for the assessment of health risk and water quality. However, the development of sensors for environmental monitoring has been inhibited due to technical limitations such as sensitivity, selectivity, portability, etc. The goal of this symposium is to focus upon novel approaches as well the fundamental engineering and scientific questions involved in this emerging area of research.
