This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award from the Major Research and Instrumentation (MRI) program, Professor Diana Aga, Tracy Bank, Eliza S. Calder, Alan J. Rabideau and David F. Watson will acquire an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP/MS) to be used for environmental science and engineering research. Projects that will be undertaken include: 1.) environmental impacts of engineered nanomaterials, 2.) biogeochemistry and remediation of heavy metal pollutants, 3.) geochemical analysis of volcanic rocks for petrological research, 4.) transport and modeling of strontium and phytoremediation of cadmium, and, 5.) characterization of semiconductor nanomaterials. Mass spectrometry (MS) is used to identify the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the mass of the molecular constituents in the sample after they are ionized and detected by the mass spectrometer. The ICP/MS will allow analysis of metal speciation at sub-parts per billion (ppb) levels, which is crucial in accurately assessing the effectiveness of bioremediation and the risks of metal contamination. It will not only be useful for environmental samples, but will also be a highly valuable characterization tool for nanomaterials research. The laser ablation system in front of the ICP/MS can be used for direct analysis of solid rocks and semiconductor materials. This will advance and transform the current research activities of students and in Geology and Chemistry.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。与主要研究和仪器计划（MRI）计划，Diana Aga教授，Tracy Bank，Tracy Bank，Eliza S. Calder，Alan J. Rabideau和David F. Watson教授将获得等离子质量光谱仪（ICP/MSS）的诱因（ICP/MS）。 将进行的项目包括：1。）工程纳米材料的环境影响，2。）生物地球化学和重金属污染物的修复，3。）3。）火山岩的地球化学分析用于岩石学研究的火山岩，4。）4。）腹膜和磷灰岩的运输和建模。 质谱法（MS）用于通过测量样品在电离并被质谱仪检测后测量样品中分子成分的质量来鉴定样品的化学成分。 ICP/MS将允许以十亿（PPB）水平的子部分分析金属物种形成，这对于准确评估生物修复的有效性和金属污染的风险至关重要。它不仅对环境样本有用，而且还将成为纳米材料研究的高价特征工具。 ICP/MS前面的激光消融系统可用于直接分析固体岩石和半导体材料。 这将推进和改变学生当前的研究活动以及地质和化学。
