Development of Novel Passive Sampling Devices for Ammonia Monitoring

Grant number: LP110200595 | Funding period: 2012 - 2015

Completed

Abstract

This project will develop novel inexpensive passive samplers for ammonia which is an indicator for faecal contamination in stormwater. These devices will increase dramatically the efficiency in isolating intermittent faecal contamination sources in drainage networks by eliminating the need for extensive manual sampling and inspection operations.
