A Microfabricated Atmospheric Mercury Sensor as a Component of a Μtas
نویسنده
چکیده
The design and development of a microfabricated sensor for atmospheric mercury determination is described. The sensor is based on the technique of resistivity variation of thin gold film. Properties, advantages and drawback of two different substrates (glass and PCB) have been presented. Experiments have been carried out to test the linearity of the sensors in function of mercury adsorption. The sensors work in a large range of linearity and need a low power during the regeneration process. Other tests were carried out in order to evaluate the ‘sensor endurance’ to regeneration.

In this paper, we report a miniaturized low-power wireless remote environmental monitoring system. This system has been developed for on-site monitoring of water pollution by heavy-metal ions. The system is composed of three parts: an electrochemical sensor module using microfabricated electrodes for detecting heavy-metal contamination in sample water; a custom potentiostat module including rea...
متن کاملA miniaturised sensor for gaseous mercury detection
A new microfabricated physical sensor for elemental gaseous mercury (Hg) determinations has been developed and experimentally tested by the Authors. The sensor is based on the technique of resistivity variation of thin gold film. The gold film surface and the sensor behaviour on different substrates have been investigated. The sensor design has been performed in observation of the minimum detec...

Background and aims Dentists are occupationally exposed to elemental mercury from placements of mercury-containing amalgam. Although many studies have been conducted on mercury intoxication, there is still widespread concern about possible ill effects of chronic low-level mercury exposure on dentists. The present study examined the effects of occupational exposure to low levels of mercury b...

The characterization of an optical sensor membrane is described for the determination of Hg2+ ions based on the immobilization of 5, 6 Di methyl -1- ( 4 methyl benzyl) -2- para tolyl-1H-benzimidazole (DMBPTBI) on a triacetylcellulose membrane. The membrane responds to mercury ions by changing color reversibly from orange to red in universal buffer solution at pH 2. Under optimum conditions, the...
متن کاملConcentration of Mercury in Selected Tissues of the Caspian Lamprey (Caspiomyzon wagneri) Migrants in Spawning Season
Background: Mercury (Hg) is considered a global pollutant because Hg0 which is the predominant form of atmospheric Hg resides in the atmosphere for as long as 0.5 to 2 years. Mercury has many negative effects on the reproductive, respiratory, and immune systems. Methods: In this study, 24 Caspian lampreys (Caspiomyzon wagneri) were transported to the university laboratory and then stored in ...
