In-situ monitoring of water quality using innovative technologies
Abstract
Caffeine can be used as a marker for possible contamination of water resources by sewage discharges, whereby bacteriological contamination can also be predicted. Thus, caffeine could be used as a chemical indicator for a possible contamination of water by sanitary facilities and for non-mapped discharges of wastewater. It can be used for determination of bathing water quality as well. The aim of this cooperation is to develop an innovative technology for efficient and environmentally friendly quality monitoring of water., using Caffeine as indicator. The measurement technology allows in-situ detection without the need for sampling and laboratory analysis, which makes it use significantly easier and cost-effective. This method can be used as an inexpensive warning system or sampling trigger for monitoring bathing water quality, which can be particularly important for regions that are heavily used by tourists.
