Enhancing the Laboratory Component of the Environmental Health and Environmental Chemistry Curriculum

该项目将开发一个环境健康和环境化学的实验室项目，使用电子捕获检测器，毛细管转换套件来转换配备双火焰电离检测器的惠普5880A型（HP-5880A）气相色谱仪，以及辅助数据采集板和色谱软件。该设备将极大地扩展环境健康科学和化学专业本科生的实验室体验范围，并将使大学能够更好地协助高中科学教师。为了利用HP-5880A所要求的改进，一些实验课程将被修改：环境卫生实习、环境测量、化学研究技术导论、仪器分析方法、化学研究导论。此资源将提供给同事和学生从其他研究生课程在印第安纳州立大学（ISU）。此外，我们将准备一份实验室手册，将在ISU使用，并应要求提供给其他人。此外，选定的高中学生和他们的老师将有机会获得环境样本分析的实践经验。

This project will develop a laboratory program in environmental health and environmental chemistry using an electron capture detector, a capillary conversion kit to convert a Hewlett-Packard Model 5880A (HP-5880A) gas chromatograph equipped with dual flame ionization detector, and ancillary data acquisition board and chromatographic software. This equipment will greatly expand the scope of the laboratory experiences available to undergraduate environmental health science and chemistry students, and will enable the university to better assist high school science teachers. A number of laboratory courses will be modified in order to make use of the requested enhancements to the HP-5880A: Practicum in Environmental Health, Environmental Measurement, Introduction to Research Techniques in Chemistry, Instrumental Methods of Analysis, Introduction to Research in Chemistry. This resource will be made available to colleagues and students from other graduate programs at Indiana State University (ISU). In addition, we will prepare a laboratory manual that will be used at ISU and made available to others upon request. In addition, selected high school students and their teachers will be given an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the analysis of environmental samples.
