Portable and field-deployable analytical platforms for water monitoring

该项目旨在解决最昂贵和最具挑战性的环境问题之一，即水系统中的营养物污染。目前，营养物污染物监测主要采用陈旧的人工方法进行，缺点众多，不足以实现真正有效的水质管理。在该项目中开发和部署的现场分析仪将提供连续的实时观测，并允许用户远程监控水质；提醒他们注意污染物水平，使他们能够立即采取行动，防止环境破坏。该系统是低成本的，便于大规模采用，但提供的分析性能可与领先的实验室分析仪相媲美。

This project sets out to tackle one of the costliest and most challenging environmental problems, namely, nutrient pollution in water systems. At present, nutrient pollutant monitoring is predominantly carried out using an antiquated manual approach with numerous shortcomings, inadequate to achieve truly effective water quality management. The in-situ analyser developed and deployed within this project will provide continuous real-time observations and will allow users to remotely monitor water quality; alerting them to pollutant levels, enabling immediate action to be taken to prevent environmental damage. The system is low-cost, facilitating mass adoption, yet delivers an analytical performance comparable to leading laboratory analysers.
