A section of Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220).
Section Information
Chemical Analysis is performed to answer questions: Is our environment safe? Are we healthy? etc. The results answer our questions and give us the information we need to address any problems. If possible, the analysis is performed continuously on site so that any problems can be immediately corrected. The role of chemical sensors is to provide these measurements.
Ideal chemical sensors provide continuous in situ analysis and can be connected to actuators that correct for any problem revealed by the measurement. However, their availability is limited and we often have to settle for on site one time measurements. These can be repeated at appropriate time intervals to see how concentrations vary with time.
The chemical sensors section of Sensors deals with all aspects of on site chemical analysis from continuous measurements to one time on site measurements to the science underlying these measurements.Editorial Board
