0115918PoslusnyThis grant, made through the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, provides support for the acquisition of state-of-the-art instrumentation which will be used to integrate research on the Kanawha River Project into the educational experience of undergraduate environmental science majors at the University of Charleston (West Virginia) and K-12 students and teachers within the Appalachian region. Specifically, a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) and a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) will be purchased. The AAS will be used to carry out metal studies on the Kanawha River. Students will measure trace levels of lead, mercury, cadmium and also monitor other metals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, and tin. The GC/MS will be used to determine levels of organic pollutants in the river, including polychlorinated biphenyls, chlorinated dioxins and furans, pesticides, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. This instrument will also be used to help identify other contaminants in the river. A series of river-based research projects will enrich the educational experiences of undergraduate environmental science majors at the University of Charleston. The instrumentation will also be used in ongoing outreach projects that will bring area teachers and students on campus to participate in a variety of environmental science experiments and research activities.***

0115918Poslusny 这项拨款是通过主要研究仪器 (MRI) 计划提供的，为购买最先进的仪器提供支持，这些仪器将用于将卡纳瓦河项目的研究整合到查尔斯顿大学（西弗吉尼亚州）环境科学专业本科生和阿巴拉契亚地区 K-12 学生和教师的教育经验中。具体来说，将购买石墨炉原子吸收分光光度计（AAS）和气相色谱/质谱仪（GC/MS）。 AAS 将用于对卡纳瓦河进行金属研究。学生将测量铅、汞、镉的痕量水平，并监测其他金属，包括钙、铁、镁和锡。 GC/MS 将用于测定河流中有机污染物的含量，包括多氯联苯、氯化二恶英和呋喃、农药和多芳烃。该仪器还将用于帮助识别河流中的其他污染物。一系列基于河流的研究项目将丰富查尔斯顿大学环境科学专业本科生的教育经验。 该仪器还将用于正在进行的外展项目，该项目将使校园内的地区教师和学生参与各种环境科学实验和研究活动。***
