Environmental Health and Contaminants
The presence of chemicals and pathogens in the environment is of great concern to both ecosystem and human health, yet the source, fates, and effects of these contaminants are often not well known. In collaboration with each other and with colleagues in the Stony Brook Health Sciences Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Cornell's Veterinary School, SoMAS faculty are actively investigating these and other environmental health issues:
- Pathology and parisitology of marine fish and shellfish
- Sources and assessment of sediment toxicity
- Fates and effects of endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the environments
- Impact of groundwater discharges on coastal water quality
- Bioavailability, food chain transfer and effects of contaminants in marine invertebrates and fish
