Suspended particulate matter (SPM) is composed of incredibly small particles of solid matter that are suspended in the water. This matter can include fine grained mineral sediment, such as clay and silt, as well as organic matter from decaying plants and microbes. A high concentration of SPM is major cause of poor water quality and can affect aquatic wildlife. Get your students thinking about how nutrients and pollutants travel in rivers with the article and activity sheet. Included are interviews with Professor of Environmental Geography Kate Spencer and Postdoctoral Research Assistant Jonathan Wheatland. The activity sheet includes ‘talking points’ to enable students to reflect on the research plus activities relating to environmental geography.
