Summary
SUMMARY – CHEMICAL MIXTURES CORE The mission of the OSU SRC is to identify polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment, to characterize their toxicity, to specify the environmental concentrations of those chemicals below which pose no threat to human health, and to find sustainable and safe solutions to remediate contaminated areas. The OSU SRC will study the composition of complex mixtures, the ways in which composition changes after remediation and natural attenuation, and the implications of PAH mixtures for human health. Superfund sites contain mixtures of many contaminants.
