The effect of waste water treatment plant effluent on 15N concentrations in macroinvertebrate populations in stream of discharge

Rivers, Lakes, & WetlandsThe study was concentrated on the invertebrate families of Diptera and Trichoptera to test for increased N-15 isotope concentrations. Cedarville Wastewater Treatment plant released effluent into a stream nearby, the point of the study was to determine if the N-15 isotope concentrations increased downstream of effluent release. The results proved that the N-15 isotope concentrations increased downstream of effluent release into the stream.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/57460/1/Coleman_Christopher_2007.pd
