Johns Hopkins University Seeks Utility Volunteers

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) are seeking wastewater utility volunteers to provide influent, effluent and sludge samples for a nationwide study of the fate of disinfectants and personal care products in the environment. JHSPH will provide sample containers and detailed instructions. Participants will receive data on the concentrations of selected household chemicals in the samples they provide. The study is seeking to obtain at least two volunteers from each state. http://www.wef.org/pdffiles/WEF_Sampling_Plan.pdf
