“…Degradation of groundwater differs substantially from pollution of surface waters with respect to its occurrence and duration. The problems associated with the identification, measurement and prediction of pollution have stimulated considerable interest in the field of groundwater quality (MAYER et al, 1993;MALARD et al, 1996;FRITCH et al, 2000), although comparatively little data exist specifically for caves. One of the primary concerns associated with the contamination of groundwaters is that pollutants can pass into the soil or aquifer directly and/or from diffuse sources within the catchment unseen.…”

After the industrial revolution considerable emphasis was placed on monitoring organic, inorganic and organometallic substances in the environment. Environmental contaminants include products of combustion, vapors, gases, industrial solvents, dusts, agricultural fertilizers, pesticides, radioisotopes, noise, ultraviolet light and certain microwave electromagnetic radiations. Contaminants that are present in strong enough concentrations to pose an immediate threat to life or to cause unmistakable cases of disease or acute poisoning are usually readily apparent, and experience has led to the development of adequate, but by no means perfect, environmental control measures. The effects of environmental contaminants are related to time as well as concentration or intensity. Time factors become increasingly important when low concentrations of contaminants do not produce ill effects until after months or years of exposure. Trace analytical methods, therefore, play a very important role in environmental analyses. They are required for the detection and identification of chemical pollutants present in the environment. It is essential that the analytical methods applied are suitable and that they yield reliable data. These methods have to have high sensitivity, as many toxic chemicals are present in environmental samples at microgram per liter levels. Furthermore they have to cover a large dynamic range, and most important they have to be inexpensive. Voltammetry fulfills all of these features and it can be used both in trace metal analyses and in the determination of organic compounds in environmental samples. This article will cover the determination of inorganic pollutants in air, water and soil, using electrochemical (EC) methods.
