New technique identifies micropollutants in New York waterways

New technique identifies micropollutants in New York waterways 01/31/2017 02:08 PM EST Cornell University engineers have developed a new technique to test for a wide range of micropollutants in lakes, rivers and other potable water sources that vastly outperforms conventional methods. The new technique--using high-resolution mass spectrometry--assessed 18 water samples collected from New York state waterways. A total of 112 so-called micropollutants were found in at least one of the samples.
