An automated voltammetric system using solid electrodes was investigated for continuous and on‐line remote monitoring of heavy metals in natural waters. Both a polluted river impacted by a copper mine, and costal seawater were monitored automatically every 30 minutes for six months. The huge difference in these two locations demonstrates the wide application range for this system. Results have been automatically monitored every thirty minutes for six months, and can be correlated against a range of parameters, e.g., season, flow of water, temperature, pH etc.
