Sensors for environment, health and security: Advanced Materials and Technologies Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Sensors for Environment, Health and Security: Advanced Materials and Technologies, Vichy, France, 16-27 Septembe

The growing concern worldwide for air pollution, biological threats and security issues has led to an increasing demand for sensors in multiple applicationareas, thus calling for a fast development of small, reliable, inexpensive sensors which can be easily integrated in various devices and equipments. Research efforts worldwide span diverse areas, including new materials such as nanotubes and nanofibers, miniaturization of electronics through nanotechnology, orintegration of several sensors in artificial noses, to name only a few. Most of the time, the research results reported at international conferences are scattered over different disciplines, such as materials science, electronic engineering, optics and photonics, nanotechnology, biochemistry and medicine, information technology, etc, thus making it difficult to get a clear picture of the advances in the sensing field. Sensing materials and sensing technologies Applications in environmental monitoring, health monitoring and security Physicsand chemistry of detection and transducing mechanisms Advanced technologies for materil processing and sensor fabrication
