ESF Researchers Receive GLRC Grant 5/24/2021
A team of researchers from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry was among those receiving grants from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Syracuse-based Great Lakes Research Consortium (GLRC).
The ESF team, led by Assistant Professor Alexander B. Artyukhin, Department of Chemistry, received $24,789 to test a combined technology process for detecting new and unknown water pollutants missed by traditional screening practices that target known contaminants. Dr. John Hassett, Department of Chemistry, and Dr. Lemir Teron, Department of Environmental Studies will also be working on the project.
The team will analyze samples from Onondaga Lake and Lake Ontario to test the feasibility of using untargeted mass spectrometry technology paired with molecular networking to discover potential new pollutants, derivatives, or metabolites.
