Abstract
The need for clean, non-toxic drinking water supplies, free of pollutants and metal
contamination is vital in impoverished areas and the developing world alike. With this in mind,
the development of accurate, inexpensive, portable and simple devices for remote sensing
applications is therefore pivotal for early detection and the prevention of illnesses. Over the last
two decades, adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) has emerged as a superior detection
method over common analytical techniques due to its low-cost instrumentation, unskilled labour
and ability to detect a wide range of analytes.
