Through this project, the Department of Chemistry and the Environmental Science Program acquired equipment to upgrade three undergraduate laboratories which are critical components of the chemistry and environmental science majors programs. The item acquired included a modern fused silica, open tubular column gas chromatograph equipped with a mass selective detector and appropriate computer hardware and software, three Andersen Air Samplers, and one ion conductivity detector (which are used with the department's high performance liquid chromatograph). The justification for the request was to add mass spectrometry to already strong undergraduate chemistry and environmental science curriculums, to modernize the undergraduate gas chromatography instrumentation, and to add air quality analysis to an environmental science curriculum which was weak in this respect. The GC-MS system is used in two undergraduate chemistry laboratories as well as for individual undergraduate research projects. The Andersen Air Samplers and the ion conductivity detector are used in the Intermediate Environmental Laboratory as well as for individual undergraduate research projects. The institution contributed to this project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.

通过该项目，化学系和环境科学专业购买了设备来升级三个本科实验室，这些实验室是化学和环境科学专业项目的关键组成部分。 采购的物品包括一台现代熔融石英、配备质量选择检测器和适当的计算机硬件和软件的开管柱气相色谱仪、三台安德森空气采样器和一台离子电导检测器（与该部门的高性能液相色谱仪一起使用）。 该请求的理由是，将质谱仪添加到已经很强大的本科化学和环境科学课程中，对本科生气相色谱仪器进行现代化改造，并将空气质量分析添加到这方面薄弱的环境科学课程中。 GC-MS 系统用于两个本科生化学实验室以及单个本科生研究项目。 安德森空气采样器和离子电导率检测器用于中间环境实验室以及个人本科研究项目。 该机构为该项目提供的捐款金额相当于 NSF 资金。
