The newly founded Yale Superfund Research Center (YSRC) is part of the P42 project funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). YSRC focuses on a contaminant known as 1,4-Dioxane (1,4-DX), a commonly occurring possible human carcinogen in Superfund sites. The research overarches the health effects of 1,4-Dioxane and methods to detect and remove 1, 4-Dioxane in water bodies.
Fortner group will participate in developing advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for mitigating 1,4-Dioxane.
