Organics Monitoring (TOC)
Total organic carbon (TOC) testing is the traditional method for determining organic matter in water. However there is a far more practical, affordable and often more useful way to measure organic matter. UV absorbance testing (UVA) is rapidly becoming the preferred method of measuring organics even when the levels of organics being measured are very small. Organic Matter Organic matter in water ...

Measurement of naphthenic acids in the receiving waters around an offshore oil platform by passive sampling
Polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) were deployed in the vicinity of an offshore oil installation and analysed for naphthenic acids (NA). POCIS accumulated a range of mono to tetracyclic NA, with different degrees of alkylation, with monocyclic acids being the most abundant. POCIS or similar polar samplers may currently be the only way to measure exposure to NA from offshore ...

Organic Matter in Drinking Water: A Guide for Simple Online Monitoring
Control of dissolved organics has been one of the highest priority concerns for most water treatment plants for over 20 years. Organics monitoring is an even more critical issue today in the face of more stringent regulations and concerns around trace organics, emerging contaminants, and even counter-terrorism or water security. Despite the critical need, many plants still rely primarily on ...

92-year old “Bluebird Man” is the epitome of citizen science in action
We often think of citizen or crowd-sourced science as a flashy, new function of our modern, inter-connected world. But public participation in research has been happening for much of human history and often involves people of all generations. The documentary “Bluebird Man” features nonagenarian Al Larson, a self-taught conservationist, and his nearly four-decade-long quest to study ...

California Refuse Recycling Council: Advocating for the Next Generation of Solid Waste Legislation
Created out of a need for waste haulers to respond to government decisions, the CRRC has grown to a pivotal organization in California that has a hand in influencing the waste industry’s legislation issues. In the 1950s when several waste haulers in Northern and Southern California saw that pending legislation in Sacramento would impact them and the waste industry, they banded together to ...

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at work, at home, and during leisure time: personal exposure measurements by diffusive sampling of airborne 3-Ethenylpyridine
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is associated with an increased risk of several diseases. In 2002, the ETS exposure level was studied in a Finnish cross-sectional population sample with a sub-sample of currently working nonsmokers. In all, 123 nonsmokers (25-64 years) reporting at least 1 h of daily exposure to ETS participated in personal exposure measurements. Two 3 M organic vapor monitors, ...

Dairy Wastewater: Identify and Reduce Product Loss with Real-Time BOD/COD Monitoring
LOST PRODUCT = LOST REVENUE Manufacturers in the food and beverage industry lose significant quantities of product in the production process. In the dairy industry, milk losses are on average 2-3% of total production and can be even higher for ice creams and novelty products. While it seems like a relatively small percentage, these losses can equate to a large volume of product lost every year, ...

An approach for calculating a confidence interval from a single aquatic sample for monitoring hydrophobic organic contaminants
The use of passive sampling devices (PSDs) for monitoring hydrophobic organic contaminants in aquatic environments can entail logistical constraints that often limit a comprehensive statistical sampling plan, thus resulting in a restricted number of samples. The present study demonstrates an approach for using the results of a pilot study designed to estimate sampling variability, which in turn ...
