7. Outline of this Seminar

    1. Water Purification and Microorganusms (Mikami)
      　We study predation and propagation of creatures that are indicators for environment and through obserbations and experiments, we consider roles of microorganisms in the course of organic purification. And we also observe what kind of creatures there are in water and explore information utilizing the internet and CD-ROM (presented for free on the day).

    2. Analysis of Water (Muramatsu)
      　We consider the water environment by analyzing ions and organic matters that exist in natural water of Hirosegawa River, marshes, and rice fields utilizing the ion chromatography, the CCD measuring instrument, and gas chromatography.
