The Portland Harbor Community Coalition, and organization composed of communities impacted by the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, is concerned about unregulated chemicals that might be present in the Portland Harbor. They were seeking research expertise in non-target chemical analysis of ambient water after reading about the technology online. They reached out to our Community Engagement Core and were connected with EHSC investigator Manuel Garcia-Jaramillo, who has expertise is in non-target chemical analysis. Working with the PHCC, we collaboratively identified sampling locations and a sampling design. You can see the results of the analysis below.
