Description
Increasing concern about pollution, our health, and our safety has increased our tendency to monitor all aspects of our environment. In the future, portable sensing systems will be available to monitor almost everything of interest to us. The heart of these sensing systems will be chemical sensors - devices which detect and measure very small amounts of chemicals. Assuming no prior knowledge of chemistry, this book explains in a clear manner how these devices work.
