Research summary
AI-generated

This body of work spans water treatment chemistry, drinking water quality, air pollution health impacts, and soil/nematode ecology, suggesting the name may aggregate publications from more than one researcher or a group working across distinct subfields. Common threads include advanced oxidation processes for removing contaminants (like PFAS, antibiotics, and pesticides) from water, disinfection byproduct formation in water distribution systems, and studies of environmental health risks from air pollution and food safety. A separate cluster of work examines soil nematode (microscopic worm) communities and biodiversity patterns across elevation and climate gradients.
