Acquisition of a Direct Mercury Analyzer

0744031这笔拨款用于购买一台直接汞分析仪，以支持北达科他州立大学发电厂燃烧煤炭释放的汞在环境中的运输和命运的区域研究。该工具将促进对人类健康具有深远重要性的研究，并进一步了解未来增加的煤炭燃烧对生态系统的影响。该仪器将支持学生在地球化学分析方法方面的培训，并加强大平原北部现有的分析基础设施

0744031DeSutterThis grant supports acquisition of a Direct Mercury Analyzer to support regional studies of the transport and fate of Mercury in the environment released from the burning of coal at power plants at North Dakota State University. The instrument will facilitate studies of profound importance to human health and furthering understanding of the impacts of future increased coal burning on ecosystems. The instrument will support student training in analytical methods in geochemistry and enhance the analytical infrastructure available in the northern Great Plains.***
