Abstract

Environmental pollution is a matter of serious concern and monitoring needs to be improved. In this research, we focused on how to improve the performance of an integrated sensor system for detecting environmental contaminants. The system we investigated is the electronic nose and tongue system, which is designed to emulate human chemosensory system. The system is capable of detecting pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia and carbon dioxide in the air, and arsenic (As(III)) in the water.
