| dc.description.abstract | Written by Sister Mary Amadeo Ohiuffo, BVM for Dr. V. Curry, professor of Biology 403 at Central Michigan University A diatom study, "Qualitative Analysis of Diatoms from
Torch Lake" was undertaken In conjunction with a graduate student,
William Houston, His study of Torch Lake Includes an Investigation
of the vertical distribution of diatoms. He hopee
to establish a basis of ooatrol using Torch Lake as a determinant
for polluted waters. 1 norm has been established by
Dr. Ruth Fatrlok and her associates from the Philadelphia
Academy of Natural Science who pioneered in the use of sampling
diatom population as a means of water quality. According
to her, water may be classified as Healthy, semi-healthy",
"polluted" or "very polluted". Many studies have been made of
polluted waters, but few have been made in collecting data of
healthy waters to be used as a basis of control In future research.
Data of this study Includes two samplings obtained on
July 5* 1964 by William Houston, and another on July 11, 1964
by the author. The first sampling was used for experimental
purposes. | en_US |
