When wildfires swept through the hills near Santa Cruz, California, in 2020, they released toxic chemicals into the water supplies of at least two communities. One sample found benzene, a carcinogen, at 40 times the state’s drinking water standard. Our testing has now confirmed a source of these chemicals, and it’s clear that wildfires aren’t the only blazes that put drinking water systems at risk. In a new study, we heated plastic water pipes commonly used in buildings and water systems to test how they would respond to nearby fires. The results, released Dec. 14, show how easily wildf...

3 months ago Māori, iwi and a team of researchers are developing new technology for treating wastewater to support Aotearoa to improve freshwater quality and restore the health of our awa (rivers) and streams. Research tackling the big issues facing Aotearoa is critical to the work of the Science for Technological Innovation National Science Challenge. It is a three year, $3 million project known as ‘Clean Water Technology for restoring Te Mana o te Wai’. With new rules and regulations introduced in September 2020 as part of the Government’s Essential Fr...

Kristofer P. Isaacson is currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental and Ecological Engineering at Purdue University. He earned an M.S. at University of Minnesota-Duluth in Chemical Engineering, and B.S. in Biochemistry at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Kris has been involved in research projects exploring water quality concerns related to disaster response and recovery.
