L2M – Electrochemical Ion-selective Polymeric Membrane-Based Microsensor for Low-Limits Drinking Water Salinity Monitoring

The proposed project aims to develop an innovative microsensor for precise monitoring of low-level salinity in drinking water. Using an ion-selective polymeric membrane, the microsensor enhances sensitivity and specificity, allowing for real-time monitoring within the crucial 1-100 ppm range. This technology addresses the current gap in low-cost, on-site salinity monitoring for drinking water. The partner organization stands to benefit from a portable, efficient, and cost-effective solution that ensures water quality compliance, contributing to public health, disaster management, and community well-being. The microsensor’s adaptability to detect various ions adds versatility, making it a valuable tool for diverse environmental monitoring needs.
