Opportunity for Wireless Sensors for Heavy Metal DetecNon
q Conven&onal chemical concentra&on sensing is typically done by taking soil or water samples on-‐site and transpor&ng them back to a laboratory for analysis, or hand-‐carrying a sensor unit around an area and making, recording and mapping data.
q Mul&ple sensor devices can be configured in a small, lightweight and low cost array to analyze mul&ple sensor targets simultaneously. It can be used as an in-‐situ sensor a[achable for permanent installa&on or portable inspec&on in a field.
To allow efficient monitoring of heavy metal levels for environmental surveillance in water for fossil energy sector, a precise, mobile and highly sensi&ve/selec&ve/re-‐usable measuring instrument is required.
q Such systems can be used to • detect and map mul&ple environmentally-‐hazardous
chemical concentra&ons, • locate sources of pollu&on from analysis
of concentra&on gradients, and • iden&fy chemical concentra&ons poten&ally harmful
to people and/or destruc&ve to industry/agriculture.

Summary of NanoSonic’s Integrated Sensor Probes
22
NanoSonic is developing a sensor probe that selec&vely measures the concentra&ons of all eight RCRA heavy metals in water with sensi&vi&es be[er than 0.01 ppm.
Data can be transmi[ed wirelessly with mul&-‐hop rou&ng, or subsequently transmi[ed via the web.
Data refresh may be varied from seconds to days; rapid refresh means that emergencies can be detected.
