Environmental Chemistry

One of the primary focuses of the department is in the area of Environmental Chemistry. We currently offer both undergraduate and graduate training in Environmental Chemistry, and have several faculty performing research in this field.

	Garon Smith - Use of honey bees as environmental samplers, development of mass spectrometry techniques for air quality studies, artificial neural networks in analytical chemistry.
	Kent Sugden - Investigation of the mechanisms of DNA damage by environmental heavy metals.
	Michael DeGrandpre - Chemical sensor development for applications in aquatic chemistry, chemical limnology and oceanography.
	Robert Yokelson ( USFS Fire Sciences Lab ) - Atmospheric chemistry, remote spectroscopic studies of biomass burning.
	Edward Rosenberg - The design and development of new silica polyamine composite materials for applications in the mining industry and in metal ion remedia class="research"tion of industrial and acid mine drainage waste streams.
	Brooke Martin - The effects of environmental toxic metal mixtures on cellular proteins and respiration.
