A new, versatile head for chemical sensor measurement was applied for quasi
-monitoring of lake and oligocene water. The calibration process of Na+, Ca
2+, NO3- sensitive CHENIFETs and Cl- selective solid state electrodes (SSEs
) was developed. The performances (selectivity coefficients, slopes, respon
se times) and the results of determination of the chosen ions in water from
various sources were presented. Obtained results were compared with determ
inations using different analytical methods as AAS, UV-VIS spectrophotometr
y, and potentiometric titration using Ag2S electrode. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci
