“…The authority monitoring the system can map water quality to quickly find out if any disruption is occurring in the system. In contrast to this approach, previous efforts in designing chemical sensors and analyzers were aimed at in-line monitoring of water quality and are non-portable in nature [4,5,38]. Additionally, the high installation cost also limits the application of the existing approach across the whole system.…”

“…It seems likely the growing local and global risk of water disruption will necessitate a more frequent number of measurements than is currently undertaken. This process will be aided tremendously if the technology can be integrated into growing wireless sensor networks [5], which would allow rapid collation, detection and monitoring of propagation, and site identification and response, ideally coordinated through an automated data receiving center capable of handling and processing big data. This concept is ideal for sensor smartgrids gathering and analyzing similar data from many portable instruments and would represent a cornerstone of the next generation Internet of Things (IoT).…”
Early detection of environmental disruption, unintentional or otherwise, is increasingly desired to ensure hazard minimization in many settings. Here, using a field-portable, smartphone fluorimeter to assess water quality based on the pH response of a designer probe, a map of pH of public tap water sites has been obtained. A custom designed Android application digitally processed and mapped the results utilizing the global positioning system (GPS) service of the smartphone. The map generated indicates no disruption in pH for all sites measured, and all the data are assessed to fall inside the upper limit of local government regulations, consistent with authority reported measurements. This implementation demonstrates a new security concept: network environmental forensics utilizing the potential of novel smartgrid analysis with wireless sensors for the detection of potential disruption to water quality at any point in the city. This concept is applicable across all smartgrid strategies within the next generation of the Internet of Things and can be extended on national and global scales to address a range of target analytes, both chemical and biological.

“…Sensor networks are used for so-called tracking and monitoring applications. Tracking networks are employed in, for example, military, animal conservation and logistic domains, whereas monitoring networks can have a function in, for example, health (patient monitoring) [4] and environment settings (environmental conditions, weather) [5]. The nodes typically used in sensor networks still have limited measurement capability and usually determine a single or limited set of physical or chemical parameters (e.g.…”
Section: Introduction: the Interface Of Science And Technology In Formentioning
In this paper, the importance of modern technology in forensic investigations is discussed. Recent technological developments are creating new possibilities to perform robust scientific measurements and studies outside the controlled laboratory environment. The benefits of real-time, on-site forensic investigations are manifold and such technology has the potential to strongly increase the speed and efficacy of the criminal justice system. However, such benefits are only realized when quality can be guaranteed at all times and findings can be used as forensic evidence in court. At the Netherlands Forensic Institute, innovation efforts are currently undertaken to develop integrated forensic platform solutions that allow for the forensic investigation of human biological traces, the chemical identification of illicit drugs and the study of large amounts of digital evidence. These platforms enable field investigations, yield robust and validated evidence and allow for forensic intelligence and targeted use of expert capacity at the forensic institutes. This technological revolution in forensic science could ultimately lead to a paradigm shift in which a new role of the forensic expert emerges as developer and custodian of integrated forensic platforms.
“…Recovery analyses with (ISEs) and standard methods, study of interferences, and evaluation of major sensor features have also been carried out, (1) .…”
The study of surface water chemistry mainly based on the results of the chemical analysis which carried out for the thirty-nine (39) collected water samples. The analysis includes the determination of the different properties of water such as electric conductivity(EC), hydrogen ion concentration (pH), total dissolved salts (TDS), turbidity , major ions as cations ( Ca 2+ , Mg 2+
