Minimizing the Formation of Carcinogenic Byproducts of Disinfection in Impaired Water

Bill Mitch, associate professor in Civil & Environmental Engineering at Stanford, will discuss an issue of growing concern.

In addition, much of current population growth is in coastal areas, where muncipal waste effluents negatively impact important estuarine ecosystems.
