At Paul Smith's College, a two year college of arts and sciences there are both pre-baccalaureate programs and technically oriented programs in Environmental Science and Forestry which help students develop skills and attitudes necessary to solve problems, in the areas of pollution control and resource conservation. Environmental Science and Forestry graduates are regularly admitted to four year programs with full junior status, while those who elect to enter directly into employment benefit from the technical skills they have developed through the use of analytical equipment. There currently include gas chromatography, HPLC, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Ion chromatography is an important technique for this kind of program since the Dionex Ion Chromatograph has been specified by the Environmental Protection Agency as the method of choice for anions and acid rain studies. With this system our students are instructed in the newest techniques of analysis. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.

保罗史密斯学院是一所两年制文理学院，提供环境科学和林业方面的学士学位预科课程和技术导向课程，帮助学生培养解决污染控制和资源保护领域问题所需的技能和态度。 环境科学和林业毕业生通常会以初级身份进入四年制课程，而选择直接就业的毕业生则受益于他们通过使用分析设备培养的技术技能。 目前包括气相色谱法、高效液相色谱法、原子吸收光谱法。 离子色谱法是此类项目的一项重要技术，因为 Dionex 离子色谱仪已被环境保护局指定为阴离子和酸雨研究的首选方法。 通过该系统，我们的学生可以学习最新的分析技术。 该机构正在为 NSF 拨款提供等额的资金。
