Originally published in 1979
Body
Cylindrical container is water quality probe developed by NASA's Langley Research Center for Environmental Protection Agency in an applications engineering project. It is part of system which includes recording equipment in helicopter, for on-the-spot analysis of water samples. Gives EPA immediate and more accurate information than earlier method, where samples are transported to a laboratory for analysis. Designed primarily for rapid assessment of hazardous spills in coastal and inland waters, system provides wide range of biological and chemical information relative to water pollution.
