Abstract

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 fluorescence of RWT within the laboratory prior to a field release of RWT within a closed pipe urban drainage network. All RWT solutions exhibited stability and
