Health Risks Associated with
Engineered and Natural Treatment
Systems
The
total quantity of water on earth remains fairly constant,
and yet the world population continues to grow. In an
attempt to maintain a sustainable water supply, water
nowadays is reused in defined practices ranging from
groundwater recharge to stream-flow augmentation. Within
this context, Dr. Frank Loge’s research focuses on understanding
the impact of the structure and function of engineered
and natural systems on human and environmental health.
Current
projects focus on:
- identification
of chemical and biological contaminants that pose an
adverse risk to human and environmental health,
- understanding
the assimilative capacities of surface and subsurface
ecosystems for both anticipating and mitigating the
impact of point and non-point source discharges on
water quality, and
- optimization
of existing treatment technologies and development
of new treatment systems to produce water of a desired
effluent quality.
Current
research that Dr. Loge is involved in addresses multidimensional
aspects of fate, transport, treatment, and disposal of
anthropogenic compounds with multidisciplinary teams
that include individuals with backgrounds in immunology,
veterinary medicine, molecular epidemiology, risk assessment,
ecology, chemistry, and environmental engineering.
