Abstract
The decrease in water quality for environmental and drinking water has been prevalent in the Great Lakes region, where industrialization, agricultural development, and population increase have contributed substantially. Looking through historical reports and the present, the degradation in water quality will likely continue. Our research intends to use inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy to create a methodology to quantitatively detect various heavy metals and other elements from any water source. Current research has been on the determination of a niche in water testing and the creation of an infographic, as well as data of simple water samples.
