Phosphorus TNTplus chemistry and your Hach spectrophotometer are engineered to simplify water analysis for accurate results, every time.
For determination of Reactive (ortho) and Total Phosphorus (phosphate) in wastewater, drinking water, boiler water, surface water and process water. TNTplus phosphorus reagents can provide an Orthophosphate or Total Phosphorus result.
Ascorbic Acid Method is Equivalent to EPA 365.1.
Phosphorus TNTplus chemistry allows you to test for reactive or total phosphorus with each vial. Follow the easy to navigate procedure printed on the lid of the box and then insert the TNTplus vial into your Hach spectrophotometer for an immediate result. Measurments are reported in the low range of 0.15 - 4.50 mg/L as PO4. If you are required to digest your phosphorus sample, performing this step in the sealed vial eliminates loss to evaporation and allows up to 30 simultaneous digestions depending on which DRB200 Reactor Block you are using.
Phosphates present in organic and condensed inorganic forms (meta-, pyro- or other polyphosphates) are first converted to reactive orthophosphate in the total phosphorus procedure. Treatment of the sample with acid and heat provides the conditions for hydrolysis of the condensed inorganic forms. Organic phosphates are also converted to orthophosphates in the total phosphorus procedure by heating with acid and persulfate. The reactive phosphorus procedure measures only the reactive (ortho) phosphorus present in the sample.

Monitoring Hurricanes and Predicting Flooding in the Age of Climate Change
Still recovering from Hurricane Helene, which caused extreme precipitation, flooding, landslides, and other environmental disasters associated with severe weather, the southeastern part of the U.S. is predicted to be hit by another storm, Hurricane Milton. 
 
With Hurricane Helene having made landfall only a little over a week ago on September 27 th , many communities are still recovering. ABC reports that over 230 people have been killed as a result of flooding and destruction caused by Helene, with many still missing. 
 
Residents in these heavily impacted states, such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, are still searching through the rubble of homes, urban centers, and hospitals for loved ones and belongings.

Among the dozens of publicly protected national parks, hundreds of wilderness areas, and thousands of state parks in the contiguous U.S., none are larger than the Adirondack Park, a 6 million-acre wilderness area that spreads across upstate New York. 
 
 With 3,000 lakes and ponds and 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, the waterways of the Adirondacks are enormous. Diverse aquatic habitats and ecosystems abound, along with bountiful recreational opportunities. 
 
 Nearly half of this land is owned by the state of New York and managed through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) as a forest preserve to return the wilderness to its “presettlement” state.
