Initial Interest After sifting through ECHO data to analyze an industrial park in Lakewood, New Jersey. The database showed that most facilities were within regulation while some were significant non-compliers. This led to an investigation of the difficulty in understanding and tracing non-point source pollution of water contamination. The watershed that all these facilities flow into is severely polluted with the Bay suffering from major pollution and environmental issues, but the facilities themselves seem to have a small environmental impact when investigated individually.
This shows how a UV Flourescent Spectrometer could determine sources of non-point source contamination in Lakewood Township.
