Summary:

The market for chemical sensors continues to grow at a rapid rate, reflecting the wide range of possibilities for improving technological processes in industry and agriculture as well as living conditions that can be enhanced by the use of chemical sensors. The military, medicine, air/space, and security markets also continue to drive research and development in this area. At present it is hard to imagine an area where chemical sensors would be useless. On the contrary, we note that every day new areas arise in which new analytical instrumentation with modern functional opportunities is urgently needed.
