On-Site Assessment of Contaminated Sites: Development of Field Screening Instruments

In order to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional assessment procedure for contaminated sites, the possibility of using different sensor types was investigated in several research projects. The basic philosophy of the use of sensors in the field for these purposes is discussed in the contribution of Katrin Batereau in these proceedings (“On-Site Assessment of Contaminated Sites: Application of Sensors for On-Site Instrumentation”). In this part, the basic principle and the fields of application of the sensors are presented.
