ChemSensor: Response to gasoline and diesel contaminated groundwater
Description
ChemSensor is a field portable device that uses fiber optic technology to measure levels of organic contamination in water. The device relies on partitioning of organic species into an organophyllic coating on an optical fiber to change the light transmitting properties of the fiber. The response is non-selective and dependent upon the aqueous solubility of the contaminant(s). The response of ChemSensor to water samples contaminated with gasoline or diesel fuel is discussed. Correlation of the response to the BTEX and TPH concentrations is shown. A discussion of the temporal response of ChemSensor is also provided
