Quantifying relationships between near-infrared reflectance spectra of lake sediments and water chemistry
Article Abstract:
The relationships between lake water total phosphorus, total organic carbon and pH and the near-infrared reflectance (NIR) spectra of lake sediments were evaluated to determine if NIR spectroscopy can be used as an effective technique for environmental monitoring. The results showed a large variance in the results obtained by the models. It was suggested that models should be further improved to reflect accurately lake water chemistry.

Microcolumn ion-exchange method for kinetic speciation of copper and lead in natural waters
Article Abstract:
An ion-exchange column procedure can be used for metal speciation in natural waters. The procedures enables an analysis of the kinetics of disassociation of metal complexes contained in a sample of natural water. This testing of this procedure was accomplished by analyzing the copper and lead complexes present in a sample of water from the Jarama River in Spain.
