📣📣 TODAY at 1pm ET SRP grant recipients from Johns Hopkins University, University of Minnesota, and University of Michigan will discuss training programs focused on emerging technologies and contaminants in the workplace. Join us! clu-in.org/conf/tio/SRPPI…
🌽🌽Can corn help clean-up contaminants in the environment? Research from Iowa Superfund suggests it can! The scientists developed a strategy that pairs bacteria and a material made from corn kernels to break down PCBs in aquatic ecosystems doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…
.URI STEEP Superfund showed that early life exposure to PFOS & a high fat diet altered behavior, gene expression, & neurological development in mice. Results suggest that this co-exposure may be a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders like autism & ADHD doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoe…
Study from NC State University SRP and Texas A&M Superfund Research Center clarifies how different PFAS chemicals accumulate in the liver and alter liver lipid levels. Results provide insight into the mechanisms driving PFAS-induced liver damage doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…
