Efficacy of engineered treatment systems to remove plastic contaminants
Project Summary
Plastic pollution is a growing concern as the ubiquity of microplastics in water, soil, and biota continues to be demonstrated. Our lab has multiple projects focused on microplastic analysis from riverine source water, drinking water treatment plants, and wastewater treatment. A primary aim of these studies is providing analytical support for our partners with the ultimate aim of guiding treatment technologies. This project requires laboratory work, data analysis, collaboration with government and consulting engineers, and work towards the ultimate goal of our lab, protecting water quality and improving public health.
