Detailed Technology Description

The detection of chemical species in the environment can provide important information regarding ecosystem wellbeing, and critical data for effective remediation and better ecosystem management practice. Ammonia is a chemical species that can be detected in the environment. Ammonia is found ubiquitously in natural waters and plays an essential role in the growth, metabolism and reproduction of aquatic organisms. It has been well established that ammonia as a major form of nitrogen-based nutrients plays a key role in the ecological health of rivers, estuaries and marines waters. The determination of the amount of nutrients such as ammonia in these systems can assist in planning their ongoing management. It can therefore be advantageous to detect the chemical species ammonia in the environment
