Abstract

Georgia Southern University requires all students to take a course in environmental science through the chemistry, geology, biology or physics departments. This policy, implemented in 1999 and supported by the National Science Foundation, is aimed at improving scientific literacy and awareness. Implementation required laboratory experiences appropriate for students with minimal science background. We also offer an upper level environmental chemistry course for our majors, and sought to expand its experimental resources. In this work, we report on the successful incorporation of a direct mercury analyzer into the laboratory for both non-majors and majors.
