A recent concern with the land application of wastewater sludge is the presence of surfactants and their metabolites.
Surfactants enter the wastewater stream from both domestic and industrial sources.
Our ongoing projects are generating a wide range of sludge, soil and water samples associated with land application of sludge. This provides an opportunity to develop analytical procedures and screen samples for the presence and mobility of surfactant and metabolites. What You Will Do This study will be exploratory in nature. Review relevant literature. Review and select analytical approaches.
