02 NOV : Adding a few items to be discussed here:

Sub projects

1. Oscilloscope - smartphone/laptop/Arduino
2. The mechanical sampler: handling and timing fluid samples
3. Sample preparation: Microbeads? - Std protocol
4. Electrodes and sample well - geometry, materials

"Nothing gets recycled" - a portion ends up as microPs -

We need a measure - Similar to AQI (air quality index)

Deploying our instrument:- dictated by Remote sensing data- surface measurement; biodiversity data- vertical distribution

Statistical evaluation on the impact on populations - take 2 water bodies (River Danube for example)

Frugal Oscilloscope- Arduino/Smartphone/Laptop Soundcard - Sonali
