A method and the apparatus (hereinafter referred to as the environmental monitoring system or EMS") designed to sample, detect, measure, and report, in real time, the presence of contaminants and thereby provide users with the ability to continually monitor conformance of water with established health and safety standards. When integrated with a user operated process control system, the EMS enables users to control the monitored process and to thereby ensure that the sampled water complies with established health and safety standards.
