On November 5, Dr. Upal Ghosh, professor of Environmental Engineering, was featured in a Bay Journal article on his research on environmental contaminants.
Dr. Ghosh has been using new sampling techniques to detect PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in the Anacostia and Back Rivers. He has also developed SediMite (pictured below), a form of activated carbon which captures PCBs that might otherwise dissolve back into waterways. His work may help lessen the levels of toxic chemicals built up in Chesapeake Bay fish.
