Abstract：Improved water quality monitoring techniques based on biosensor, optical, microfluidics and information technologies are leading to radical changes in our ability to perceive, understand and manage the aquatic environment. The EU Water Framework Directive aims to prevent further deterioration and to protect and enhance the status of aquatic ecosystems, to promote sustainable water use based on long-term protection of water resources. This requires real-time environmental monitoring systems to implement and verify compliance with legislation by simultaneously monitoring many different priority chemicals and toxins with simple and costeffective techniques. Intelligent sensor networks could effectively perform this task, as well as detecting localised sources of pollution and providing an early warning capability. Some recent advances in biosensing techniques using fluorescent labelled antibodies and molecularly imprinted polymers, for the analysis of various contaminants in freshwater and seawater, are reviewed.

摘要：基于生物传感器、光学、微流体和信息技术改善水质量的监测技术极大提升了对水生态环境的感知、监测和管理能力。欧盟水框架指令旨在防止水生生态系统的进一步恶化，保护和提高它的质量，促进实施可持续性水资源保护政策。实施水框架指令需要实时环境监测系统去实现和验证，同时需要简单、经济的技术监控不同优先级的化学物质和毒素。智能传感器网络可以有效地执行这个任务，其具备检测局部污染的来源和早期预警能力。本文介绍了最近一些为分析淡水和海水中各种污染物使用荧光标记抗体和分子印迹聚合物生物传感技术的进展。
