This award is supported by the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) and Chemical Instrumentation P(CRIF) programs. Professor Elizabeth Sudduth from Georgia Gwinnett College and colleagues Seungjin Lee and Sang H Park have acquired a total organic carbon/total nitrogen analyzer. This instrument uses an analysis technique that is historic and fundamental to analyzing samples. This is combustion analysis which by combusting (burning or oxidizing) a sample can provide the content of elements such as carbon and nitrogen. This a basic analytical tool for environmental analysis of materials in water, or water treatment. The research to be conducted is largely localized to the Georgia region. It provides undergraduate students training in measurement, data analysis, and instrumentation usage valuable as they go on to future technical employment or to higher level training. The award of this analyzer is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. It especially aids the characterization of the effects of urbanization and beaver activity on patterns in organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations and ecosystem functions in urban streams. The instrument is necessary for the evaluation of the efficiency of surface water treatment and recycling processes for sustainable nutrients for the investigation of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts formation potential of Gwinnett County's drinking water source. The analyzer also helps investigators and students in characterizing the composition of atmospheric aerosols and dry atmospheric deposition rates of nitrogen, and for the characterization of combustion exhaust gas from a diesel generator using fuel blends of commercial ultra-low sulfur diesel and biodiesel synthesized on campus.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项由主要研究仪器（MRI）和化学仪器P（CRIF）计划支持。 来自格鲁吉亚格威内特学院的伊丽莎白·萨杜斯教授和他的同事Seungjin Lee和Sang H Park获得了一台总有机碳/总氮分析仪。 该仪器使用的分析技术是分析样品的历史和基础。这是一种燃烧分析，通过燃烧（燃烧或氧化）样品可以提供碳和氮等元素的含量。 这是一个基本的分析工具，用于水或水处理中物质的环境分析。将进行的研究主要局限于格鲁吉亚地区。它为本科生提供测量，数据分析和仪器使用方面的培训，这些培训在他们未来的技术就业或更高级别的培训中很有价值。 授予该分析仪的目的是加强各级的研究和教育。它特别有助于表征城市化和海狸活动对城市河流中有机碳和氮浓度模式和生态系统功能的影响。该仪器是必要的地表水处理和可持续的营养物质的回收过程的效率进行评估的调查的含氮消毒副产物的形成潜力的Gwinnett县的饮用水源。该分析仪还可以帮助研究人员和学生描述大气气溶胶的组成和氮的干燥大气沉积速率，以及用于表征来自柴油发电机的燃烧废气，所述柴油发电机使用商业超-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持和更广泛的影响审查标准。
