Optimized Molecular Contamination Monitoring for Lithography

Abstract A new approach to monitoring molecular contamination in lithography is presented. Recent technical advances have made it feasible to perform continuous real-time monitoring with significant advances in sensitivity and stability while minimizing sample tubing effects. These improvements are realized by using a small, low-cost monitor that is dedicated to monitoring a single location. ...

The Mussel Watch approach and its applicability to global chemical contamination monitoring programmes

Although the use of biological monitors has become a standard practice in different national and international programmes over the past two decades, there are several complicating factors that need to be taken into account when sampling over large geographical extensions. Species availability, physiological conditions, and climatic variables encountered over large areas of study are a few of the ...

Egg laying sequence influences egg mercury concentrations and egg size in three bird species: Implications for contaminant monitoring programs

Bird eggs are commonly used in contaminant monitoring programs and toxicological risk assessments, but intra‐clutch variation and sampling methodology could influence interpretability. We examined the influence of egg laying sequence on egg mercury concentrations and burdens in American avocets, black‐necked stilts, and Forster's terns. The average decline in mercury concentrations between the ...

Portal Monitors for South Korea

STS have supplied further portal monitor simulation units to our distributors SI-Detection in South Korea. The portal simulation system works using the STS Safe-Series technology. A detector is set up mounted on the real portal which is connected to a control box, in turn this is connected to a beacon and sounder activated when a person carrying a STS Pocket-Source passes through the portal. ...

Optimal groundwater contamination monitoring using pumping wells

This study presents a new method for selecting monitoring wells for optimal evaluation of groundwater quality. The basic approach of this work is motivated by difficulties in interpolating groundwater quality from information collected for only few sampled wells. The well selection relies on other existing data relevant to contaminant distribution in the sampling domain, e.g. predictions of ...
