3. Water Analysis Part 1Pollution Indicators

Water Analysis Part 1Water Samples

Dec 2011 : Nitrate (ppm) and Hardness

We found no nitrates in the water samples on December so we can conclude that this is according to

standards in all cases.

Dec 2011: Phosphates (ppm)The most contaminated water was Sea water.

Dec 2011: pH

The pH values were quite variable on the samples of December . Rain water was the most acid.

Evolution Ammonium

The most contaminated water

was the first rain-water of the season.

Evolution Nitrite values

Only February samples from river and rain had nitrites .

The experience

Brandon: “I thought this experience would be just one more, but I was very wrong, it was quite exciting and fantastic.It showed me it was not easy to work in a laboratory.” BRAND”

Víctor and Casey measuring pH.

pH Team: Brandon, Mario and Yana.

Nitrite team: Virginie, Iris, Gloria

Virginie: “I think it was a great idea to make this experiment, because I loved to go to de lab. It was great, but it was kind of difficult to write all we had done... But I hope to repeat this experience”

Iris: “My opinion about the lab experience is that it was a very funny and interesting activity in which anybody can learn how to work in a lab and how to make some tests.”
