This increases the risk of contaminants being released into our communities from nearby sites. To ensure we're prepared and can respond effectively, it's crucial to understand these risks. Join our experts, Environmental Engineer, Dr. Meridith Fry and Science Assessor, Dr. Lauren Oliver, on September 18 to learn how indicators of environmental, public health, socioeconomic, and other conditions can help assess vulnerabilities to potential contaminant releases.

Water treatment systems face many challenges in providing safe #DrinkingWater. One notable challenge is removing micropollutants – trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals and personal care products, PFAS and other pollutants – with conventional treatment technology. The development of “next-generation” adsorbents shows promise to effectively remove micropollutants from these systems. We're funding a grant opportunity to support research to develop, test and deploy predictive models for using novel adsorbents to remove emerging micropollutants from water. Learn more about this opportunity (which closes October 2!) ?? https://spgv.io/6044bp
