Environmental water pollution is a growing global issue, leading to increasing regulations and concurrent increased demand for improved water quality monitoring solutions to meet the European Green Deal objectives. Real time in situ devices offers the promise of more rapid and efficient monitoring, and numerous such solutions are available from a wide number of primarily non-EU suppliers. However, existing in situ solutions detect very limited parameters, and are restrained by high costs, low reliability, and high energy usage. To better meet end user needs and improve environmental water quality monitoring, novel sensing technology is required. To this end, IBAIA will develop four innovative optimally functionalised sensor modules based on complementary photonics and electrochemical (EC) technologies. Mid-IR will be used to detect organic chemicals, Vis-NIR for microplastics and salinity, Optode technology for physicochemical parameters, and EC technology for nutrient salts and heavy metals. Leveraging consortium expertise in cutting edge material science, microfluidics, data processing and integration/packaging technology, these four sensors will be integrated and packaged into a single advanced multisensing system and validated by end users in real in situ conditions. The IBAIA system will more accurately monitor a wider range of parameters than existing solutions, whilst simultaneously being more cost effective, more reliable, more environmentally friendly to manufacture, and more user friendly to use. These dramatic improvements will manifest in an extremely competitive product that acts as a one-size-fits-all solution for many end users, with a highly EU-centric supply chain, that will supplant a wide number of inferior non-EU alternative solutions.

环境水污染是一个日益严重的全球性问题，导致法规不断增加，同时对改进水质监测解决方案的需求也随之增加，以满足欧洲绿色协议的目标。实时原位设备有望实现更快速、更高效的监控，许多此类解决方案主要来自非欧盟供应商。然而，现有的原位解决方案检测的参数非常有限，并且受到高成本、低可靠性和高能耗的限制。为了更好地满足最终用户的需求并改善环境水质监测，需要新颖的传感技术。为此，IBIAIA 将开发四种基于互补光子和电化学 (EC) 技术的创新型最佳功能传感器模块。中红外将用于检测有机化学品，可见近红外将用于检测微塑料和盐度，Optode 技术将用于检测理化参数，EC 技术将用于检测营养盐和重金属。利用联盟在尖端材料科学、微流体、数据处理和集成/封装技术方面的专业知识，这四个传感器将被集成并封装到一个先进的多传感系统中，并由最终用户在真实的现场条件下进行验证。 IBAIA 系统将比现有解决方案更准确地监测更广泛的参数，同时更具成本效益、更可靠、制造更环保、使用更方便用户。这些巨大的改进将体现在一种极具竞争力的产品中，该产品为许多最终用户提供了一种通用的解决方案，具有高度以欧盟为中心的供应链，这将取代大量劣质的非欧盟替代解决方案。
