Glossary D
In the context of the environment, "detection" refers to the process of identifying or recognizing the presence or occurrence of certain elements, phenomena, or changes in the environment. It involves using various techniques, tools, and methods to observe, measure, and analyze environmental conditions. Detection plays a crucial role in understanding and managing environmental issues, including monitoring natural resources, assessing pollution levels, and studying ecosystem dynamics.
The Detection Level is the lowest "measurable” analyte Concentration by a specified method. By improving our technologies, we are also lowering the detection level for nearly all methods.
A Detection Limit is the lowest Concentration of a chemical that can reliably be distinguished from a zero concentration.

A detector (sensor) is a transducer whose purpose is to sense (that is, to detect) some characteristic of its environs. It detects events or changes in quantities and provides a corresponding output, generally as an electrical or optical signal; for example, a thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage.
