Sensors for Environmental Control: Proceedings of the International Workshop on New Developments, Lecce, Italy 27 â„¢ 29 May 2002

This manual contains updated results of both theoretical and applied research in the field of sensors and methods for environmental control, mainly with regard to the detection of pollutant species in gaseous and liquid ambients. The papers are taken from the International Workshop on Sensors for Environmental Control, held in Italy in 2002. The main arguments are related to: the development of new nanostructured materials as sensing layers and new detection mechanisms; the development of micro- and nano-systems and their integration in miniaturised instruments; and the application of innovative devices in the detection of contaminant chemical species and their monitoring.
