      Frau, Ilaria; Wylie, Stephen; Byrne, Patrick; Cullen, Jeff; Korostynska, Olga; Mason, Alex (Materials Science and Engineering: B;Volume 247, August 2019, 114382, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-11)
      Metal pollution in aquatic environments has attracted global attention. Current methods are not able to monitor water quality in-situ at low-cost. This paper reports on a novel approach for detecting changes in the ...
    • Functionalised microwave sensors for real‑time monitoring of copper and zinc concentration in mining‑impacted water 

      Frau, Ilaria; Wylie, Stephen; Byrne, Patrick; Cullen, Jeff; Korostynska, Olga; Mason, Alex (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology;First Online 16 November 2019, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)
      Microwave spectroscopy has been identified as a novel and inexpensive method for the monitoring of water pollutants. Integrating microwave sensors with developed coatings is a novel strategy to make the sensing system more ...
    • Microwave Sensors for In Situ Monitoring of Trace Metals in Polluted Water 

      Frau, Ilaria; Wylie, Stephen; Byrne, Patrick; Onnis, Patrizia; Cullen, Jeff; Mason, Alex; Korostynska, Olga (Sensors;21 (9), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-01)
      Thousands of pollutants are threatening our water supply, putting at risk human and environmental health. Between them, trace metals are of significant concern, due to their high toxicity at low concentrations. Abandoned ...
