Episode 47 is an introduction to Environmental Experts Radio's special-topic series on Emerging Contaminants.  In this multi-part special series, we'll focus on three classes of contaminants that have been increasingly drawing attention over the past several years: PFAS compounds, pharmaceutical residues, and microplastics.  We'll look at how they originated, how they behave once released to the environment, how they can affect human health, and the ways in which environmental scientists are learning to isolate and remove these materials to minimize their impact.
