    <div class="html-content">On November 5, Dr. Upal Ghosh, professor of Environmental Engineering, was featured in a <a href="https://www.bayjournal.com/news/pollution/toxics-long-ignored-once-again-on-cleanup-radar/article_7647164e-c56d-51d6-83b6-96c0534a470b.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bay Journal article</a> on his research on environmental contaminants.<div><br></div>
    <div>Dr. Ghosh has been using new sampling techniques to detect PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in the Anacostia and Back Rivers. He has also developed SediMite (pictured below), a form of activated carbon which captures PCBs that might otherwise dissolve back into waterways. His work may help lessen the levels of toxic chemicals built up in Chesapeake Bay fish.</div>
