Youn Jeong Choi's research focuses on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of persistent synthetic chemicals often called 'forever chemicals.' Work spans understanding how PFAS behave in the environment (in groundwater, wastewater, and firefighting foams), developing methods to remove or destroy them, and studying their toxic effects on aquatic and amphibian species. This research combines environmental chemistry, engineering treatment methods, and ecotoxicology.
