In some embodiments of the apparatus detects the concentration of a substance selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, peroxyacetic acid, chlorinated compounds and other aqueous oxidizer compounds. The light source may be a laser, or light emitting diode. The source may be part of a transmitter and the detector may be part all of a receiver. The apparatus may further include a data logger cooperating with the light detector. The enzyme coated strip may be a strip coated with catalase and the the strip may be an inert paper. In some cases the enzyme coated strip changes color as a function of the concentration of the substance. The apparatus may further including fiber-optic cable cooperating with said light detector to detect transmitted light from the enzyme coated strip and a fiber-optic cable and/or a fiber optic cable cooperating with said source to direct light on the enzyme coated strip. The invention also includes the method for measuring the concentration of a substance which includes providing an enzyme coated strip, projecting a light beam on the enzyme coated strip, and detecting light from the enzyme coated strip.
