On-site Heavy Metal Monitoring Using a Portable Screen-printed Electrode Sensor... 

The aim of this work is to demonstrate how the screen printed electrodes (SPEs) can be used for on site heavy metals monitoring in surface waters in the frame of the WFD. The sensors used consist of mercury-coated screen-printed electrodes coupled with square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) (Palchetti et al., 1999). Three metals Cu, Cd, and Pb which are classically analysed in water matrices have been considered. Moreover, Cd and Pb belong to the priority substances list of the WFD. Performance criteria of the device are first established to evaluate the level of confidence of the method. The potential use of the device and its main advantages are then highlighted through two illustrative field applications.

Anodic stripping voltammetiy is used to determine various heavy-metal ions in situ without the undesirable presence of Hg. This group also presents a similar device for continuous and on-site heavy metal monitoring (Pb(II))." This polymer lab chip sensor allows 43 consecutive measurements in nondeoxygenating standard solutions inside the microchaimels using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry. Pb concentrations range 1-1,000 ppb with a LOD of 0.55 ppb and 300 s deposition time.
