Abstract:The goal of phase I of this project was to provide a novel technology capable of assessment of sediment contamination in New York harbor. NY harbor is a major transportation and trade hub. The harbor contains 3-5 million cubic yards of sediment which is dredged out of the navigation channels per year. The sediment contains contamination. There is a demonstrated need for ultra-compact sensors which can perform in-situ detection of toxic compounds in complex environmental samples such as natural water sources and sedimentation. These sensors can be used to create accurate real-time mapping of panels of compounds both temporally and spatially. In Phase I of this project, we built a sample-to-answer system capable of detection of lead, copper, and chromium in unprocessed sediment. In Phase II, the proposed technology will be used to map spatial distribution across the harbor.
