Ghosh laboratory has public health impact for over a decade

In a recently published story, the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences highlighted the public health impact of more than a decade of NIH funded research in the Ghosh laboratory.  The technology development is a result of multiple research projects over the years that explored fundamental processes involved in controlling exposure of toxic pollutants to aquatic organisms and humans. An innovative technology, developed with funding from the NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP), successfully delivers amendments that immobilize and degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in aquatic environments. The technology has proven effective in the field and resulted in millions of dollars in estimated cost savings at cleanup sites.
