Research Interests
I am a researcher in environmental organic chemistry. The emphasis of my research is the behavior of persistent organic pollutants in the environment and in human. Such pollutant chemicals include, for example, the notorious polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and many pesticides including DDT. In recent years, my research has focused on “emerging” organic pollutants including many types of flame retardant chemicals used in various consumer goods. We investigate the concentration levels, the pollution history, and the emission sources of these chemicals in the environment as well as in homes and in human body. The currently active project is the Great Lakes Sediment Surveillance Program (GLSSP) funded by USEPA.
