MWH Labs develops new wastewater detection method
Tuesday, February 09, 2010

MONROVIA, CALIF. — MWH Laboratories, a provider of water and wastewater analyses, has developed a new method for detecting the presence of wastewater in ground and surface waters, according to a press release.

The method works by detecting gadolinium and other rare elements that are proven indicators of sewage contamination, the release stated.

“This is a groundbreaking development for treatment plants charged with delivering clean water to the public as well as companies relying on clean water sources,” said Dr. Andrew Eaton, technical director for MWH Laboratories. “Plants can add an extra level of certainty to their work, using the same samples that they are already testing and with minimal added expense.”
