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实验室方案，使用电子捕获检测器、毛细管转换套件来转换配备双火焰离子化检测器的Hewlett-Packard Model 5880 A（HP-5880 A）气相色谱仪，以及辅助数据采集板和色谱软件。 这些设备将大大扩大环境健康科学和化学本科生的实验室经验范围，并使大学能够更好地协助高中科学教师。一些实验室课程将进行修改，以利用所要求的增强功能的HP-5880 A：在环境卫生，环境测量，介绍化学研究技术，仪器分析方法，介绍化学研究实习。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州立大学（ISU）。此外，我们还将编写一份实验室手册，供执行支助股使用，并应要求提供给其他人。此外，选定的高中学生及其教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.
