Better monitoring of environmental pollutants
One of Mistra´s Idea Support projects has developed a new technique for measuring a material´s chemical activity, i.e., how it reacts with and influences organisms. The technique is simple, cheap and appropriate for both field and laboratory use. Several of the methods that are used for calculating how different chemical environmental pollutants impact organisms measure concentrations of such ...

ENSR`s pollutant testing procedure receives ASTM approval
A new provisional analytical method co-developed by an ENSR toxicologist for assessing organic pollutants in sediments has been adopted by ASTM International (ASTM). The method measures the concentration of contaminants in sediment porewater - the water filling the spaces between grains of sediment - to which aquatic organisms become exposed. ENSR, part of AECOM, is a global environmental ...

How does water pollution affect economic growth?
The detrimental effect of water pollution on the flora and fauna which live in river and marine habitats is well-documented. Even the deleterious impacts that such contamination can have on human health further up the food chain have been investigated to a strong degree. But aside from the environmental cost of water pollution, what do we know about the economic one? Quite a lot, thanks to a ...

ASTM D4129 - 05(2012) Standard Test Method for Total and Organic Carbon in Water by High Temperature Oxidation and by Coulometric Detection
This test method is necessary because of the need for rapid reliable tests for carbonaceous material in waters and sediments. It is used for determining the concentration of organic carbon in water that comes from a variety of natural, domestic, and industrial sources. Typically, these measurements are used to monitor organic pollutants in domestic and industrial waste water. When a ...
