Water Quality

A Dioxin report was done by a Bowdoin student to explain dioxin for non-scientists. Read the Dioxin Report here done by Bowdoin Student Intern Philip Langley in 2008.

Here is a summary of the Water Quality Sampling Data collected by staff and volunteers in the summer of 2012. The program involves sampling water twice a month at one or more stations on the Androscoggin River. We use mobile testing equipment that is calibrated at the beginning of the testing season and field calibrated during the sampling. Monitoring during the warmer summer months of July and August is particularly helpful.

Here is a report by Philip Langley, a Bowdoin Student Intern, on water quality in the Upper Androscoggin River in 2008.
