After Japan announced the discharge of nuclear wastewater, each country will certainly strengthen the importance of the issue of water quality testing, then there will be a broad market for sensors to measure water quality. But I wonder which sensors will be more important?
But it is only about nitrates. There is also a project in Brittany in France about nitrates. One use some special paper stripes and then compare the colour.
The problem is you would need a sensor for everything which can be in the water.
Some common measurement are however made for O2 in solution, redox, pH, conductivity.
For the radioactivity, I assume you can’t use the multigeiger because water should absorb the gamma rays.
