The Challenges of Environmental Monitoring

Air, water and soil samples are extremely complex requiring high sensitivity and advanced data processing for trace level detection.. Additional challenges come with the need for remote monitoring stations requiring autonomous operation in harsh environments 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The challenge increases even further when remote monitoring stations are in difficult to reach, isolated locations where servicing the instrument regularly is not an option. For these reasons, components and instrumentation must be reliable performing in a range of ambient conditions for long-term measurements spanning days, weeks or even months.
