Where were the samples taken from?

The water samples came from Sandy hook beach, the Delaware Raritan River Canal and Tommy Pond and each had a different population density and development in the area. 
Tommy Pond


Tommy Pond in Metuchen is surrounded by a suburban community of homes, and there are two acres of trees surrounding the small lake. The population density is about 4800 people per square mile and there are no large businesses in the area.






Sandy Hook Beach



Sandy Hook Beach in Sandy Hook, New Jersey is a peninsula that contains mostly beach. There is a large population density during the summer time,  and the only buildings there are the shore houses and small businesses. There is a large grassy area in the middle of Sandy Hook Beach as well.








The Delaware and Raritan Canal in Princeton New Jersey is in a secluded area with a large forest surrounding it. There is a low population density and very few buildings surrounding it. However, there is a main road along side the canal.
