Concerns
Through this program, citizen scientists play a vital role in collecting data for baseline water chemistry and on key contaminants, including PFAS, nutrients, and chloride (road salts) for the Lake Erie basin. By addressing critical gaps in regional water quality data, the project supports innovative pilot programs to develop and refine new monitoring methods.
