Article Synopsis
- A significant portion of ocean beaches have undergone nourishment to maintain recreational use and protect shorelines, but this practice alters the original sediment structure.
- Studies in coastal North Carolina have shown that meiofaunal communities, which are tiny organisms living in sediment, have experienced significant changes due to beach nourishment since the early 2000s.
- Comparing current data with historical records indicates that these changes have made beaches more heterogeneous, potentially impacting the ecosystem services provided by these coastal habitats.
Companies conducting compliance testing are required to analyze audit samples at the time they collect and analyze the stack samples if audit samples are available. Eastern Research Group (ERG) provides technical support to the EPA's Emission Measurements Center's Stationary Source Audit Program (SSAP) for developing, preparing, and distributing performance evaluation samples and audit materials. These audit samples are requested via the regulatory Agency and include spiked audit materials for EPA Method 29-Metals Emissions from Stationary Sources, as well as other methods.

Analysis resulted in both molecular weight and structural (fragment ions) information obtained from the full scan spectra of as little as 50 ng of each drug. The technique was also used to evaluate the chromatographic specificity of corresponding ultraviolet or refractive index high-performance liquid chromatographic detection in the presence of drug degradation products.
