Human Health

The projects in this section focus on how the study of chemistry can help us to understand human health issues.  Working Upstream shows how wastewater epidemiology can reveal human drug usage patterns in communities without invading people’s privacy.  Tensile: A Sublime Love Story draws our attention to how the chemicals in different types of plastics might affect egg production in vertebrates.  Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow gets us to feel the personal loss experienced during chemotherapy.
