Tech Tuesday: University of Florida Lab Studying How Weather Impact the Movement of Chemicals in the Environment

How do forever chemicals impact our environment? In this week’s Tech Tuesday, our friends at UF Innovate and SCAD Media introduce us to Sanneri Santiago from UF’s Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, who is studying how extreme weather events impact the mobility of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.”

“Have you heard of forever chemicals? We’re here with UF’s Environmental Engineering Sciences Department to learn more. Sanneri, tell us more about who you are and what you do,” said Bethany Gaffey, host of UF Innovate.

“My name is Sanneri Santiago. I’m a fourth-year PhD candidate here at the Environmental Engineering Sciences Department, and I work under an EPA STAR-funded project, which focuses on understanding how extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and storm events, how these impact PFAS mobility in the environment,” said Sanneri Santiago, PhD candidate at UF’s Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences.
