Research summary

Allison A. MacKay studies drinking water treatment chemistry, focusing on how chemical oxidants like permanganate and chlorine react with contaminants, natural organic matter, and cyanotoxins (such as microcystin-LR) produced by harmful algal blooms. Her work also examines how pollutants interact with soils and minerals and uses mass spectrometry techniques to identify unwanted byproducts formed during water treatment. This research is relevant to improving the safety and effectiveness of processes used to purify drinking water.
