JOHN D. FAULL, Senior Scientist
Dr. Faull is responsible for projects focusing on chemiresistor gas sensors for environmental and industrial hygiene applications. He is currently developing a personal exposure monitor for worker protection. Chemiresistor microsensors are used to monitor exposure to perchloroethylene, a solvent commonly used in dry cleaning and metal finishing operations. Dr. Faull has also recently been involved in the development of several electrochemical techniques for determination of heavy metals in water. His broader research interests are focused on the development of chemical sensors and the miniaturization of analytical instrumentation. The technologies developed under these programs will provide sensors for a wide range of applications including monitoring of industrial effluents, acid mine drainage, ground water, municipal drinking water, waste water treatment, air quality, and personal protection.
