Research summary
AI-generated

Anna Paltseva studies contamination in urban soils, particularly heavy metals like lead, and how it relates to land use, socioeconomic disparities, and urban agriculture. Her work also develops practical tools for measuring soil contamination (such as portable X-ray devices and mycelium-based cleanup methods) and promotes participatory/citizen science approaches to studying urban soils. This research is relevant to students interested in environmental justice, soil chemistry, and community-engaged environmental monitoring.
