New Device Improves Measurement
of Water Pollution
From UConn Today - Currently, if the quality of a body of water
needs testing, a large sample is collected - between five and 20 liters of water - and is then transported to a lab for analysis. This process, known as "grab sampling," is labor-intensive and can be prohibitively expensive.  As a result, small-scale testing by citizens who want to measure contaminants in a local stream or in their private wells isn't feasible.
In contrast, a new testing process developed by a UConn researchers has yielded technology that is so easy a child could do it. In fact, the device doesn't require collecting a water sample at all, because it uses a process called "passive sampling.
A small, ecofriendly sampling device is placed directly into the body of water being tested, where it stays for a few hours and is then removed. Once back in the lab, it takes a little over two hours to conduct a full analysis of the water's target contaminant levels - a breakthrough with huge commercial possibilities.

Soundkeeper Appeals Stamford Zoning Board Decision on 14-Acre Boatyard Site
"For nearly thirty years, Soundkeeper has fought to guarantee continued public access to the Sound for  boating, swimming, and fishing, to promote a working waterfront, and to protect water quality." said Reed Super of Super Law Group, Soundkeeper's long-time attorney and adviser. "Soundkeeper is continuing that effort. A full-service boatyard and marina should be restored at the Yacht Haven West site as soon as possible. We vigorously oppose the elimination of the requirement to maintain a boatyard
on the 14-acre peninsula."
See the press release and consider donating to the legal fund.

Save the Sound Water Monitoring Project
The Save the Sound water quality monitoring program, supported by volunteers and people like you, is making a difference for the beaches and waterways you visit all around Long Island Sound!
After four seasons of testing the waters, improvements are on the horizon - but a lot of work remains. Half of the samples tested this summer still failed to meet the criteria for safe swimming conditions.
