Abstract

"Water quality issues have increasingly become the focus of attention of United States citizens,
private and public organizations, and units of government striving to meet competing demands
while protecting the environment and public health. It is known that contaminated surface water
and groundwater presents a health risk to both humans and animals. Over the last few decades,
there has been increasing awareness and concern over organic contamination from hazardous
waste sites and underground storage tanks. This contamination threatens the quality of
groundwater at aquifers, thereby polluting water sources for human and animal consumption in
many rural communities. This proposal concerns with the development of a low-cost, hand-held
reliable monitoring system for the identification and quantification of hydrocarbon contaminants
in surface water and groundwater. During the Phase I project, Lynntech will develop and test a
chemical sensor capable of identifying and quantifying the most prevalent organics contaminants
in groundwater in the U.S. During the Phase II project, a compact, automated monitoring system
will be developed and field-tested."
