Staci L. Capozzi studies how man-made toxic chemicals move through and persist in the environment, including waterways, wastewater systems, and the atmosphere. Much of the work focuses on tracking the sources and transformation of pollutants such as PFAS ('forever chemicals'), PCBs, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and on whether naturally occurring bacteria can break these contaminants down. The research combines chemical measurement, statistical source-tracing methods, and biological approaches to cleanup (bioremediation).
