My research activities are designed to
investigate the effects of sunlight on pollutants at the air-water
interface. For example, sunlight may react with elevated nitrate
concentrations in watersheds to change the oxidation capacity of the
water and the air. In addition, many pesticides in air and water are
decomposed by sunlight; however, little is known about the
decomposition products. My research group investigates these types of
fundamental questions using ion chromatography and LC/MS/MS. |
