NIEHS Superfund Research Program - Research Brief Podcasts episodes
- Foray Into Tackling the Toxicity of Environmental Pesticide MixturesWorking with key collaborators from Johns Hopkins University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), SRP researcher Dr. Rolf Halden at Arizona State University investigated developmental and immunological effects that might be associated with either chlordane or permethrin exposure.7 min
- Chlorinated Contaminant Remediation - Dual Function Responsive MembranesAt the University of Kentucky SRP, a team of engineers and chemists developed a double membrane remediation system to remove chlorinated organic contaminants from groundwater.8 min
- Poplars are Choosy about PCBsGiven their huge biomass on the earth, plants likely play an important role in the enantioselective biotransformation and/or translocation of chiral PCBs. By studying the fundamental processes of PCB phytoremediation, Dr. Jerald Schnoor's group at the University of Iowa is establishing the scientific basis for the development and application of land management strategies for intervention at contaminated waste sites.7 min
- Nanoparticles Enhance Imaging of Intracellular Bioreduction of ChromateDr. Joseph Irudayaraj at Purdue University is developing a novel nanoparticle sensor to better understand the mechanism by which the bacteria Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) MR-1 is able to reduce Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III).7 min
- Mechanism of Resistance to PCB Toxicity in FishIsaac Wirgin (New York University School of Medicine) and Mark Hahn (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) collaborated in a series of studies to understand how Atlantic tomcod populations in the Hudson River not only survive in their polluted ecosystem, but also thrive.7 min
- Sediment Caps That Degrade ContaminantsDr. Danny Reible's research group is exploring the concept of combining in situ capping with another contaminant-remediation strategy: electrode-based remediation.7 min
- Accelerating Pump-and-Treat Remediation at Arsenic-Contaminated SitesColumbia University scientists hypothesized that the time frame for remediating arsenic-contaminated aquifers via pump-and-treat could be substantially decreased by subsurface additions of chemical amendments.7 min
- Discovery of the Key to Metal Accumulation in PlantsDr. Julian Schroeder at the University of California - San Diego has discovered the key to metal accumulation in plants.7 min
- Portable Biosensing SystemsBuilding on her work at the University of Kentucky Superfund Research Program, Dr. Sylvia Daunert has developed a new method for the long-term preservation, storage, and transport of whole-cell sensing systems.6 min
- Determining Susceptibility to Environmentally-induced NeurotoxicityThe Furlong research group has successfully identified biomarkers for two quite different OP toxicants with very different exposure scenarios, and has optimized rapid protein target enrichment and mass spectrometric analytical protocols for each.8 min
About NIEHS Superfund Research Program - Research Brief Podcasts
From the publisher's feed
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Research Program (SRP) produces a monthly Research Brief Podcast that highlights the research of SRP grantees. The SRP is a…
network of university grants that seek solutions to the complex health and environmental issues associated with the nation's hazardous waste sites. The research conducted by the SRP is a coordinated effort with the Environmental Protection Agency, which is the federal entity charged with cleaning up the worst hazardous waste sites in the country.
