Objectives 1). Rapid (lt 1 hr) Quantitative
sensitive method for CONTAMINATION Detection to
monitor multiple sites in the watershed
2). Allows for regionalized intensive
treatment in an integrated watershed system
CONTAMINATION Drugs, hormones other
pharmaceutically active compounds
-ppb Differentiate Pathogenic Bacteria
including especially VBNC pathogens Enterics,
Legionella, Mycobacteria, indicators for
virus Protozoa Cryptosporidium, Giardia ,
Microsporidium, Algae Indicators pf pathogen
infectivity
3Sampling Urban Watershed --- Scheme 1
- Strategically placed coupons at multiple sites
for biofilm formation - Biofilms are readily invaded by Pathogens and
Nurtured - Lipids in biofilms serve as a built in solid
phase extractor for hydrophobic drugs, hormones,
bioactive agents - 5. Convenient to recover analyze for
biomarkers -
- Its not in the water but the slime on the coupon
4Sampling Urban Watershed --- Scheme 2
- Coupon sequentially extracted high
pressure/temperature - Supercritical Carbon Dioxide ? Neutral
Lipids - (residue) Chloroform/methanol ? Polar lipids
- Analysis by HPLC/ES/MS/MS
- (residue) Mild Acid , SFE ? Lipopolysaccharide
OH FA Analysis by GC/MS - Analysis on GIS Basis by automatons neural
network ANN - Feedback to purification interdiction systems
