Hello Danijel,

Your question is a bit vague, what is the purpose of the monitoring system and "any kind of hydrocarbon and other pollutants" is really broad? May be good to elaborate on what you need a bit more in detail. I do not think there is an online continuous monitoring system that can do what you specify.

Anyway, you may have a look at UV-VIS spectrometry. High quality UV-VIS spectrometer probes are, for instance, made by S::can (https://www.s-can.at/products/spectrometer-probes#) that can be used online to detect at least some hydrocarbons (DOC, TOC, BTX, etc.) and pollutants (NO3) and are used for drinking water monitoring.

Regards,

Maarten.
