Research Interests
The Emerging Contaminants Research Laboratory (ECRL) is interested in studying the occurrence, fate, and treatment of emerging contaminants in the natural and built environment. We apply novel analytical and monitoring techniques to assess both human and environmental health risks associated with toxic and harmful substances. We also develop and test novel treatment technologies to reduce exposures to toxic contaminants and improve water quality. For more information visit: https://sites.google.com/view/arjun-venkatesan/
