Analytical chemistry for emerging contaminants in the environment
This symposium will provide an opportunity for scientists and engineers to share recent advances in the analysis of “Emerging Contaminants” and new knowledge regarding their environmental fate. Emerging Contaminants include hormones, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, engineered nanomaterials, new pesticides, flame retardants, and biotoxins, that are of increasing interest due to their relatively unknown environmental impacts and long-term ecological effects.
In addition to novel analytical techniques for environmental monitoring of Emerging Contaminants, we will also include presentations on:
- New research findings on the fate and behavior of these environmental contaminants from laboratory and field studies
- Identification of the chemical and biological transformation products in plants, soil, water, and water treatment systems
- Sorption, leaching, run-off, and biodegradation studies to elucidate the fate and transport of these chemicals in the natural environment
- Ecotoxicology and risk assessment of emerging contaminants
This session will take place on Friday, June 4th in Kellas 103.

Session organizer
Diana S. Aga is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. Her current research involves the investigations on the fate, transport, and ecotoxicological effects of pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting chemicals, persistent organic pollutants,and engineered nanomaterials in the environment. A major focus of her research is to identify unknown transformation products of pharmaceuticals in various environmental matrices using a combination of novel analytical strategies in sample preparation, bioassays, and modern mass spectrometric techniques.
