Prepping Water-Quality Samples for Shipping
Detailed Description
Water-quality samples collected as part of a sampling campaign across the Potomac River watershed. Water-quality analyses are time-sensitive. At the end of each sampling day, samples are shipped overnight to the respective water-quality labs. These water samples were used to help characterize water quality in the Potomac River watershed, with a particular focus on contaminants of emerging concern.

Integrated Assessments of Potential Risks to Aquatic Organisms and Public Water Supply from Wastewater-Derived Chemical Mixtures in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Proper management of contaminants of emerging concern in the Chesapeake Bay region requires scientific efforts to understand the risk posed to aquatic resources from the “cocktail” of multiple contaminants that is often present. This research aims to assess the occurrence, sources, environmental impacts, biological effects, and the human health impacts of toxic contaminants in rivers.
