Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
St. Lawrence College
$25,000.00
Algal Quantification by Photoelectric Current Differential
FY 2018-19
Summary
St. Lawrence College and MANTECH Inc. of Guelph, Ontario, have developed a research partnership to investigate a novel process for assessing algal presence and quantification for rapid detection in water bodies. *Throughout North America, nutrient pollution in the form of phosphorus and nitrogen from anthropogenic sources including agricultural fertilisers, industrial waste and development exerts significant pressures on aquatic ecosystems. The direct and indirect contributions of these stressors are responsible for an increase in harmful algal blooms (HAB), which are expected to continue to be more frequent and sustained in the future.*MANTECH with the assistance of the research team at the Cornwall campus of St. Lawrence College will be investigating a new process to help the company expand and improve upon its line of peCOD detection systems.*For additional information about this project, please contact:*Ian Dick*Industry Liaison, Applied Research*(613) 544-5400 x 1459*
