Promoting the application and development of sensors from all sensor industries to assist
with the monitoring and measurement needs of hazardous waste cleanup programs
Q About this Web Site
The Sensor Technology Information Exchange will improve
communication among sensor developers, vendors, and users
inside and outside the environmental arena. It serves as a
forum for exchanging information on sensor technologies and
needs. Although this site is designed as a tool to assist the
environmental field with hazardous waste cleanup, it includes
information on sensors from divergent but related technical
fields—medical monitoring instruments, aerospace, electronic,
transportation, telecommunications, and natural resource
development remote sensing—because sensors from one field
may be applied in another field.
The Sensor Technology Information Exchange is funded
through a cooperative agreement between WPI, a not-for-
profit corporation affiliated with Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and State University, and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
Q Match-Milking Tools
The Submit and Search functions within the Sensor
Technology Information Exchange can help play match maker
between users looking for a sensor technology to meet a
specific need and vendors and developers who have a
commercially-available sensor or who are developing a sensor
that could meet that need. Vendors and developers from all
sensor fields can submit information about their sensors to the
database, and users can use keywords to search the entries.
The Discussion Forum also serves as a match maker among
developers, vendors, and users. The topics of discussion on the
forum are not limited—it is intended to meet the individual
needs of all web site users.
©Other Services
The Sensor Technology Information Exchange also contains a
Calendar of Events and News and Links pages. These features
serve as communication tools for the sensor technology
community. Visitors to the web site can access these pages to
obtain information on events, news, and sources of related
information, or to submit events, news, and links.

©How You Can Use this Site
By submitting sensor information to the information
exchange, utilizing the Discussion Forum, and posting
appropriate items on the Calendar of Events, News, and Links
pages, site users can promote their own organization's sensors
and services as well as help keep the Sensor Technology
Information Exchange up-to-date and useful. This site is
promoted on-line and through various other outreach projects,
helping to ensure that the content reaches many audiences.
