Red Dye To Track Missouri River Pollution Study
Fluorescent red dye will be injected at 10 points along an 800 mile Missouri River stretch next week to map dilution and contaminant travel. Researchers from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, the USGS, Weather Bureau and Corps of Engineers will collect river samples around the clock. The test aims to improve warnings of downstream water supply risks and explain a potential link to a prior fish kill. The dye, harmless to people and fish, will turn the river bright pink and fade within five to ten miles downstream. The study will be repeated December 5 for comparison.
