An Early Warning Organics Detection System for the Ohio River

Abstract

The early warning organics detection system for the Ohio River notifies water utilities when increases in purgeable organics occur at selected sites along the Ohio River and its major tributaries; it also serves as a basis for regulatory actions against sources of unauthorized purgeable organic discharges.

“…Microorganisms may play a role in removing the higher molecular weight fractions (Stevens, et al 1979). Another interesting development, which may be loosely considered a strategy, as defined previously, is a system for monitoring synthetic organic loads along the Ohio River (Moore, 1980). The objective of this network is to act as an early warning system for consumers downstream of a monitoring site.…”
