DESCRIPTION:Environmental Engineering Graduate Seminar\n\nLizzie Miller\, P
 hD Student\, Environmental Engineering\, Michigan Technological University
 \n\nAbstract:\nPlastic additives are chemicals that assist in the physicoc
 hemical properties of plastic: improving durability\, flexibility\, flame 
 retardancy\, or resistance to UV degradation\, among other benefits. Typic
 ally\, these compounds bond non-covalently to plastic\, increasing their s
 usceptibility to leach into the surrounding environment\, food\, or drinki
 ng sources. In partnership with the San Francisco Bay Estuary Institute (S
 FEI)\, a methodology is being developed to analyze water samples for up to
  120 plastic additives\, including bisphenols\, organophosphates\, antioxi
 dants\, phthalates\, and UV stabilizers\, using high-performance liquid ch
 romatography tandem mass spectrometry. Findings from this study will impro
 ve understanding of the fate of plastic additives in San Francisco Bay and
  support risk assessment and environmental management strategies.
