Lithium fluoride is an essential component of the fluorine cell electrolyte 1% LiF in the KF 2HF electrolyte improves the wettability of the carbon anodes and lowers the tendency of the cells to depolarize (18). Thermoluminescent radiation dosimeters used in personnel and environmental monitoring and in radiation therapy contain lithium fluoride powder, extmded ribbons, or rods (19).

Accumulation of heavy metals (HM) in different compartments of the biosphere, and their possible mobilization under changing environmental conditions induce a perturbation of the ecosystem and adverse health effects. Fast and correct estimating the environmentally relevant fonus of HM in soils, sediments, and sewage sludge is an urgent need for environmental monitoring and assessment. 

This on-going research aims at a) environmental monitoring and b) the development, after further research and collaboration with an instrument manufacturer, of a prototype portable flow toxicity meter as an early warning system for pollution.

As the vapor leaves the tube, the compounds in the sample are detected by a device such as a thermal conductivity detector. This instrument continuously measures the thermal conductivity (the ability to conduct heat) of the carrier gas, which changes when a solute is present. The detection techniques are very sensitive, allowing tiny amounts of solutes to be detected. Many environmental monitoring and forensic applications have been developed.

Thns far, the discussion has dealt primarily with biomarker responses in living organisms. In the next section, consideration will be given to the exploitation of this principle in the development of bioassay systems that can be nsed in environmental monitoring and environmental risk assessment.

In engineering terms, a sanitary landfill is also sometimes identified as a bioreactor due to the presence of anaerobic activities in the wastes. As such, landfilling sites need the incoming waste stream top be monitored, as well as placement and compaction of the waste, and installation of landfill environmental monitoring and control facilities. Gas vent and leachate collection pipes are important features of a modem landfill.

Applications of infrared sensors have been reported in the fields of biology/biochemistry, medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and process control. IR sensors can measure analytes in solid, liquid or gaseous form using one of several different transducer layouts. 

With regard to the development of infrared sensors during the last decade, some major fields of application can be identified, covering biological, biochemical or medical applications, environmental monitoring and process monitoring, with the latter being considered as the area closest to a widespread application of IR optical sensor systems.
