Establishing these patterns would help managers understand the chemicals’ impacts on the environment and potentially identify hotspots for treatment. Dr. Kevin McCluney at Bowling Green State University is measuring contaminants in samples of wastewater influent and effluent from multiple treatment plants around northwest Ohio, along with samples from receiving streams and aquatic organisms, over time.
