Milashich The research is aimed at solving the problem of pattern recognition of chemical compounds for determining concentrations of chemical pollutants in multicomponent water and soil environments. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that for the first time in the field of environmental monitoring, a hardware and software complex is being developed based on the use of modern machine learning methods. Software has been developed for the data processing unit of the multi-sensor system. Algorithms based on artificial neural networks are used for clustering images of sensor responses and quantitative identification of ions. The project of connecting several multi-sensor systems into a single information network of impact water monitoring is proposed. A method for determining the concentration of heavy metal ions at any point of geographical coordinates of the water area where monitoring is carried out has been developed.
