TL;DR: In this article, a review of the general techniques available, as well as specific instruments for particular applications, is presented, based on the relative merits of different techniques, a guide for their selection is provided.
Abstract: A variety of techniques are available enabling both invasive measurement, where the monitoring device is installed in the medium of interest, and noninvasive measurement where the monitoring system observes the medium of interest remotely. In this article we review the general techniques available, as well as specific instruments for particular applications. The issues of measurement criteria including accuracy, thermal disturbance and calibration are described. Based on the relative merits of different techniques, a guide for their selection is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, a process device couples to a process control loop and outputs an event output in response to the event output based on the operation of the process device and a rule.
Abstract: A process device couples to a process control loop. The process device receives process signals. A memory in the process device contains a nominal parameter value and a rule. Computing circuitry calculates a statistical parameter of the process signal and operates on the statistical parameter and the stored nominal value based upon the stored rule and responsively provides an event output based upon the operation. Output circuitry provides an output in response to the event output

TL;DR: The results suggest that the transport of PFOS and PFOA is retarded in the vadose zone, but not in the aquifer, and the groundwater contamination ofPFOS andPFOA often follows their release to surface soils by years, if not decades; and the Aquifer can be a major source of exposure for communities living near point sources.
