CEEES - Removal of PFAS from drinking water and environmental media
Students have the opportunity to work on one of several projects related to mitigation and measurement of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water and contaminated environmental waste (e.g., soil, biosolids, pavements, plants, spend treatment media).
PFAS represents one of the most critical groups of contaminants of our time. With the EPA's new drinking water regulations on the horizon, there is an urgent need for innovative treatment processes to remove PFAS from drinking water and contaminated environmental media. At the Doudrick Lab, we focus on advancing solutions to address this challenge by developing novel adsorbents for drinking water treatment and designing catalysts that enable the low-temperature destruction of PFAS in contaminated media.
