Emerging Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

Emerging Sensors for Environmental Monitoring presents a comprehensive overview of chemical sensors, ranging from the choice of material to sensor validation, modeling, simulation, and manufacturing. It discusses the process of data collection by intelligent techniques such as deep learning and multivariate analysis, incorporates different types of sensors, and discusses each under a common set of sub-sections so that readers can fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of the relevant transducers-depending on the design, transduction mode, and final applications. This book provides a practical reference for Scientists, Researchers, Students, and Practitioners to deepen their knowledge base on the management of emerging contaminants, degradation of air, soil and water quality and indicators of ecological degradation.

• Addresses the limitations and challenges in obtaining state-of-the-art emerging environmental sensors
• Balances the fundamentals of sensor design, fabrication, characterization, and analysis with advanced methods
