After more than 4.5 years of field monitoring, blood, sweat and tears, I am pleased to announce that one of our original monitoring stations for client (SPEL Environmental) has reached 15 protocol-compliant, and statistically significant events for two products on TSS, TP and TN. Further, the results have been third party, peer reviewed and published (https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/10/10/1307).

Congratulations to Andy Hornbuckle and the team at SPEL Environmental for persevering in the absence of a National Protocol, and despite the many challenges along the way.

With new catchment data coming through, should our industry be starting to look at heavy metals too?

Biochar filters might be the go for adsorbing heavy metals.
