Simultaneous Detection of Organics and Trace Heavy Metals in Tap Water

Abstract

The goal of this study is to determine if organics such as herbicides, pesticides, or toxic industrial compounds can be added to our tap water assay. Results were obtained during a 10-week summer internship by one of the authors. We present data from three model organic compounds in presence of bismuth salts with and without trace amounts of copper. A brief discussion of preliminary results for library based chemical identification and deconvolution of mixtures is included; this was developed from a previously reported algorithm.
