Radioactivity levels are "at or below" safe levels in Pennsylvania rivers, state regulators said on Monday, based on water samples taken last November and December from seven rivers.
The groundwater quality was assessed based on water samples collected from ten randomly distributed borehole within the study area.
The Oswaldo Cruz study of the Olympic lagoon, which was peer reviewed, is based on water samples taken in 2013.

As adaptive optics aberration correction relies on a signal of back scattered light from the focus the eye model cannot be based on water alone but needs a sample to model the scattering properties of the retina.
Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) are employed with the objective to group the similar sampling locations based on water quality characteristics and identify the pollution sources influencing the water chemistry.
In this work we describe the design, construction and evaluation of a laboratory setup for fast screening of up to 22 coating samples that is based on water jet slugs.
The model was calibrated and validated based on surface water samples collected in a thorough field campaign with R-squared values of 0.83 and 0.97, respectively.
The sum of toxic units (SumTUD.magna) based on storm water samples from agriculturally impacted streams was significantly higher when legacy pesticides were included compared to when they were omitted.
