Chemical Fate & Treatment
Research scope:
- Photochemical fate of the constituents of COREXIT, the chemical dispersant applied as part of the response to the BP Deepwater Horizon Blowout.
- Direct and indirect photolysis rates COREXIT components examined under solar simulation and deep UV
- Tested in a variety of matrices including synthetic seawater, nitrate amended water, and Gulf of Mexico seawater.
