An analysis of well and surface water for trace heavy metals : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

This research project analyzes both the ground and surface water samples near a hazardous waste site. The analysis procedure itself proved to be a valuable educational experience in the operation of analytical instrumentation and sample collection. Following collection of data, migration patterns of the analytes were observed.Honors CollegeBall State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSI wish to extend my appreciation to Craig Cook who helped with the sampling process and conducted some of the analyses in this study.
