According to the study ¿EPA 2000 Community Water System Survey Data on Pipe Assets¿, the infrastructure for water distribution and sewerage systems is aging and requires replacement. In addition, in the EPA¿s September 2002 report ¿Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Gap Analysis¿, the funding gap for replacing aging pipes was estimated $27 billion a year for the next 20 years. A ...

The proposed program will demonstrate the ability of a detector based on measuring the conductance of nicotinic acetlcholine receptor (nAChR) ion channels to detect and quantify anatoxin-a contamination in drinking water systems. The nAChR is extremely sensitive to the presence of anatoxin-a. Electronic Bio Sciences has already made extensive progress in the development of a robust ion channel b ...

The current SBIR solicitation states that the EPA is seeking better sampling, analysis and monitoring technologies to improve hazardous waste management. Development of new methods for testing contaminated sediments is an area of particular concern because many industrial chemical such as pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and heavy metals accumulate in sedimen ...

Environmental Protection Agency rules stipulating corrective action for drinking water distribution systems that exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), 80mg/L. Real-time, or even periodic, monitoring of drinking water is not economically feasible. Current methods use gas chromatography, and are expensive and plagued with long delay time between sample colle ...

Despite the general decrease in total methane emissions since 1990, methane emissions from manure management increased by 33% from 1.5 Tg in 1990 to 2.0 Tg in 2006. The majority of this increase was due to general changes in methods of manure management. It is reasonable to expect that methane emissions from manure management will increase if there is no effective way to collect and utilize this ...
