Water monitoring by conventional analytical methods is often complicated, time-consuming and laborious, requiring highly skilled personnel, thus calling for simpler, rapid and cost-effective methods. Polymer inclusion membranes (PIM) are of interest in environmental analysis due to their selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of a wide range of analytes such as metals. PIM have been used in the development of passive sampling, analyte separation and preconcentration, and sensing. PIM are also suitable for the automation of chemical analysis. Here we review PIM applications in environmental water monitoring.

使用聚合物包裹体膜进行水监测：综述

通过常规分析方法进行的水监测通常是复杂，费时且费力的，需要高技能的人员，因此需要更简单，快速且具有成本效益的方法。聚合物包合物膜（PIM）在环境分析中颇受关注，因为它们的选择性和灵敏度可检测各种分析物（例如金属）。PIM已用于被动采样，分析物分离和预浓缩以及传感的开发中。PIM也适用于化学分析的自动化。在这里，我们回顾了PIM在环境水监测中的应用。
