The determination of inorganic constituents and their impact on water quality requires an in-depth knowledge of the interactive water chemistry relationships. The ability to measure trace and ultratrace concentration levels of inorganic constituents as well as their chemical form and speciation plays a significant role on the chemical, toxicological, transport and overall environmental impact on surface- and ground-water hydrology. The development of state-of-the-art analytical chemistry technology to the solution of specific hydrologically related problems requires extensive laboratory and field research and development effort. Project objectives are to (1) Investigate and develop new concepts and approaches to...
