Notes

Wind 12 km/SE, 65% Humidity, 101.7 kPa, misty white could cover. Expected rain over night tonight, I might possibly do another test for road salt/Sodium Chloride (NaCl) as it should be noticeable. Measuring quite high right now, same as the sample from the drainage ditch next to Algonquin College. It makes sense that levels would be off tha chart in areas such as these. Conductivity is also significantly higher, which is the measure of Total Disolved Solids(leaf bits and organic matter etc.) and Salinty(saltiness)
