AI Assist: AI Identification of Contaminants of Emerging Concern
FY 2024-25 · 2024-12-15
Summary
Wastewater management is a critical aspect of environmental protection and public health. Monitoring the composition of wastewater is essential for identifying pollutants, understanding environmental impact, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique for identifying and quantifying compounds present in complex samples like wastewater. However, the analysis of mass spectrometry data requires expertise and can be time-consuming. The proposed project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) capability to automate and enhance the analysis of water and wastewater samples based on MS data.

Wastewater management is a critical aspect of environmental protection and public health. Monitoring the composition of wastewater is essential for identifying pollutants, understanding environmental impact, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique for identifying and quantifying compounds present in complex samples like wastewater.

Description (French)
La gestion des eaux usées est un aspect essentiel de la protection de l’environnement et de la santé publique. La surveillance de la composition des eaux usées est essentielle pour identifier les polluants, comprendre l’impact environnemental et garantir le respect des normes réglementaires. La spectrométrie de masse (SM) est une technique analytique puissante permettant d’identifier et de quantifier les composés présents dans des échantillons complexes tels que les eaux usées. Cependant, l’analyse des données de spectrométrie de masse nécessite une expertise et peut prendre beaucoup de temps. Le projet proposé vise à développer une capacité d’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour automatiser et améliorer l’analyse des échantillons d’eau et d’eaux usées sur la base des données de SM.
