Subject field(s)
  • Food Safety
  • Hygiene and Health
CONT

Water safety at the community level involves interventions at the source of the water supply or in the distribution system, including physically removing pathogens(i. e., through filtration, adsorption, sedimentation, or other methods) ;chemically treating the water, commonly with chlorine, to kill or deactivate pathogens; and disinfecting water using heat(i. e., boiling or pasteurization) or ultraviolet radiation(i. e., sun or artificial lamp). Alternatively, protected sources of water can be created, such as springs, wells, and boreholes, which are generally free from contaminants. As for sanitation, improved and unimproved water facilities have been defined based on their risk of contamination.

Record 6 2000-09-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Measuring Instruments
CONT

An atomic absorption spectrophotometer measures element concentrations in solution by spraying(nebulising) the solution into a long narrow hot flame. Light from a hollow cathode lamp, containing the element to be analysed, passes above the long and narrow burner to a monochromator. The monochromator isolates ground state radiation from the hollow cathode lamp. The solution is sprayed into the fuel and air premixing chamber feeding the flame. Free atoms are produced in the flame because of the heat and reducing conditions. If the atoms are the same as the element in the lamp, then light is absorbed. The degree of absorption depends on the amount of that element present in the original solution. The results are compared with standard solutions which allow concentrations to be determined. The technique can be highly precise and accurate.

OBS

An instrument used in the restoration of art works.

Key term(s)
  • atomic absorption spectrographic equipment

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Appareils de mesure
DEF

Spectromètre permettant d'effectuer une analyse chimique en vaporisant un échantillon, habituellement sous forme liquide, dans un flacon et en mesurant l'absorption par les atomes non excités dans la vapeur de différentes longueurs d'ondes résonantes étroites de la lumière, qui sont caractéristiques d'un élément donné. La quantité d'un élément présent est proportionnelle à la quantité d'absorption par la vapeur.
