first method, samples are collected and the concentration of DON or individual DON components are monitored over time. To measure DON flux rates using 15N tracer techniques. all of the DIN forms (N~ + , NO3 -.and NO2 -) must be removed, and the DON pool must be isolated with a high efficiency. At present. there are three basic approaches used to isolate DON-wet chemistry, ion retardation, and d...
