Case Study: Lead in Water – Flint, Michigan

After completing this laboratory activity, students will be able to:

  • Practice tailoring method development to the application at hand
  • Consider the complexity involved in sample selection
  • Consider narrowing down the problem and sample treatment (i.e. soluble lead vs particulates)
  • Be able to list the common figures of merit used to rate and choose between methods
  • Select a method based on its figures of merit
