In the McDonough laboratory, we are investigating how\u00a0organic contaminants<\/strong> impact aquatic ecosystems<\/strong>\u00a0and human health<\/strong> by combining innovative environmental chemistry<\/strong> and bioanalytical techniques<\/strong>, state-of-the-art mass spectrometry<\/strong>, and field monitoring<\/strong> campaigns. Our work protects the public from exposure to harmful pollutants and draws attention to the global ubiquity of organic contaminants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
