Test Kits and First Steps7/19/2020 Earlier this month I picked up a few testing kits from Ms. Blanck at Severn. She had kits and supplies to test for phosphates, nitrates, O2, pH, and turbidity. Along with kits to test for coliform bacteria that I will purchase separately, this will form the list of pollutants that I'll test for.
Over the past few weeks, I have been familiarizing myself with the testing method for each pollutant. They're all relatively simple, and most can be done on the boat immediately after taking the sample. By next week, I hope to smooth out the experiment parameters so I can develop and test my SOP over August. |
