Dying to find the source – the use of rhodamine WT as a proxy for soluble point source pollutants in closed pipe surface drainage networks

Rhodamine WT (RWT), a xanthene dye, may serve as a proxy for soluble pollutants within quantitative tracing studies investigating point source contaminant transport. This study quantified the effects of altering the concentration, pH, temperature and salinity of a RWT solution on the detected fluore...
