提出了一种高灵敏度、低功耗、高耐用性的地下水污染现场分析固态传感器系统。一旦成功开发，它将为定位和监测地下水环境中的痕量有机物种带来重要的新能力。拟议方案的目标是在第三方物流正在进行的传感器和表面化学研究的基础上，使拟议的传感器系统能够在几个领域产生实际成果，包括：更好地了解污染地点的有机化学品水平，监测污染物迁移的自动化机制，一种快速而准确的评估技术，用于评估用于缓解危险废物问题的净化技术的效果。拟议的研究应产生一个新的传感器系统，该系统具有必要的重要能力，以加强对地下水污染的原因和影响以及修复损害的处理方法的效力的了解。

An extremely sensitive, low power, high durability solid state sensor system for field analysis of groundwater pollution is proposed. When successfully developed, it will result in an important new capability for locating and monitoring trace organic species in the groundwater environment. The objective of the proposed program is to build on ongoing sensor and surface chemistry research at TPL so that the proposed sensor system can yield practical results in several areas, including: an improved understanding of the levels of organic chemicals at a pollution site, an automated mechanism for monitoring the migration of pollutants, a rapid and accurate assessment technique to assess the effects of purification technologies employed to mitigate hazardous waste problems. The proposed research should result in a new sensor system with significant capabilities necessary for enhanced understanding of the causes and effects of groundwater pollution and the efficacy of treatments to repair the damage.
