WATER POLLUTION DETECTION

I. Durickovic, M. Marchetti
  • Abstract:
    Human activities are, more or less directly, responsible of the increasing pollution in running waters, making their pollution an important issue over the last decades and the ones to come. Many documents define a legal frame on the water pollutants (classifying them depending on their toxicity, environmental impacts or origin), thus underlying the importance of the surveillance of their presence in the environment. The difficulty for the surveillance of these products is the great diversity of pollutant families, leading to the necessity to use several analytical techniques. This paper shows the possibility of using Raman spectrometry for the detection/quantification of several pollutant families in an aqueous media (drugs, pesticides, or salts coming from the fertilizers).
