INDIVIDUAL+PROJECT

INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS:

Our individual projects will be centered around the water quality parameters we will be analyzing in the lab. Each intern will pick one parameter. It will be their responsibility to compile the information needed to do the analysis. This includes the standard methods, a list of chemicals used and their material safety and data sheets (MSDS), and equipment list. This information will be placed in the lab safety notebook and on the lab website. Additionally, interns will create a "cheat-sheet" for their parameter that includes room-specific operating procedures and photos. Each intern will teach their test to at least one other intern.

Please add your name next to the parameter you would like to do. I would ask that those who feel confident leave settleable solids (SS), E. coli, and multi-probe instrument for others. Those looking for a challenge may want BOD or TKN.

Settleable solids (SS) Monika Hyberts

Total suspended solids (TSS) - eric p.

Biological oxygen demand (BOD) John Koo

Total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN)- Ben Mohla

Total coliform / E. coli Brittany Lancellotti

Turbidity Ted Schiele

Ortho-phosphate

YSI multi-probe instrument
