Abstract :
A portable sensor system for the continuous detection of chlorinated hydrocarbons in water based on the principle of evanescent wave spectroscopy has been developed. Using silver halide optical fibers and a flow cell remote measurements of 80 ppb tetrachloroethylene as exemplary analyte have been achieved
