SUMMARY:Poison Water linked to Cancer.. Science On Tap presentation
DESCRIPTION:If you live in SOME areas of Colorado Springs\, you know all about this poison that the US government has been spraying on the group around here for years. NOW they are surprised to find it in our drinking water.\nThe event is on the 2nd floor of Jack Quinn’s at 21 S Tejon St ( up stairway just left past the hostess station ). Get there early to grab a table\, or ask to borrow a chair from early arrivers . Here is the pitch from “Cool Science”\, the producing group.. \nPerfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were once utilized to fight large-scale fires. However\, use in such applications has brought to the public eye both the persistence and environmental toxicity of these materials. Among other known PFC contamination sites\, southern Colorado Springs\, with a collective population of about 80\,000\, has been grappling with elevated PFC levels within their water supply. Two researchers at UCCS are working to both quantify PFC levels in El Paso County and predictively model those levels within geographic regions. Dr. Janel Owens has developed methodology to accurately assess PFC concentrations within soil and water media\, while Dr. Kevin Tvrdy has applied environmental models of chemical transport and fate in the soil and waterways within the affected areas. This funded research aims to assess PFC contamination\, provide geography-specific pathways for its origins\, and predict in the long term environmental prevalence of PFCs. \nDr. Janel Owens joined the UCCS Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in fall 2009. She teaches general chemistry lecture and upper division elective courses in chemistry including environmental and forensic chemistry. Her research interests focus on the use of mass spectrometry for the analysis of trace compounds in environmental samples\, food samples\, and forensic samples. \nDr. Kevin Tvrdy joined the UCCS Dept. of Chemistry & Biochemistry in the Fall of 2013. He directs an active research team and teaches courses in Physical Chemistry and Nanoscience. His general research interests lie in the synthesis\, purification\, and characterization of low dimensional materials and their use in novel devices.\nJoin us at Jack Quinn’s 21 S Tejon St\nMonday\, January 13\, 2020 \n6:30 – 8:00 pm (food & drink at 6:00) \n21 S Tejon St.\nColorado Springs\, CO 80903 \n
