PASSIVE SAMPLER TECHNOLOGY USED TO MEASURE MICROPOLLUTANTS IN CANBERRA'S WATERCOURSES

摘要

This project undertook to detect the presence of micropollutants across four different sites within the waterways of the Australian Capital Territory. Micropollutants typically occur at very low concentrations and normal analysis (i.e. a one-litre water grab sample) is not enough to detect the presence of the chemicals with even the most sensitive analysis equipment.
