1. A device for detecting environmental changes comprising:

  • fiber optical sensor means; and

    an environmental sensitive polymeric material capable of undergoing a wavelength-independent change in optical properties in response to a change in the environment, said environmental sensitive polymeric material communicating with said fiber optical sensor means and said environment whereby a change in the environment which causes said optical change in the said polymeric material is sensed and indicated by said fiber optic sensor means.
