Abstract
A new concept for monitoring basic water pollution based on a sequenti al injection analysis system (SIA) provided with two simple spectropho tometric detectors is proposed. The dissolved organic carbonaceous pol lution - expressed as TOC (total organic carbon), COD (chemical oxygen demand) or BOD (biological oxygen demand) - and particulate pollution (TSS, total suspended solids) can be estimated using advanced UV spec trophotometry. Moreover, the nitrogenous and phosphorous compounds are determined either directly (nitrate for example) or by addition of a simple reagent, followed by UV-visible detection.
