This project has four major objectives: (1) to improve the laboratory experience of the students in general, analytical, and environmental chemistry by providing an atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer for trace metal analysis--this instrument enables the department to give students practical experience working with a powerful analytical tool on problems that have great intrinsic interest; (2) to provide broader opportunities for upper-level biology and environmental science students conducting field and laboratory research; (3) to enhance the scope of senior research projects, making possible more quantitative studies and encouraging the development of collaborative projects; and (4) to provide an important instrumental resource that enriches the experience of students participating in an environmental internship program, working in cooperation with the Portland Water District, the Maine Department of Environmental Resources, and nearby communities.

这个项目有四个主要目标：(1)通过提供用于痕量金属分析的原子吸收(AA)光谱仪，改善学生在一般、分析和环境化学领域的实验室经验--该仪器使该系能够让学生在具有巨大内在兴趣的问题上获得实际经验；(2)为高水平的生物学和环境科学学生提供更广泛的机会进行野外和实验室研究；(3)扩大高级研究项目的范围，使更多的定量研究成为可能，并鼓励合作项目的发展；以及(4)提供重要的工具性资源，丰富参与环境实习计划的学生的经验，与波特兰水区、缅因州环境资源部和附近社区合作。
