Hey! It's #NationalWildlifeDay today. At EPA, we work to protect oceans and beaches that are home to many of America's most beloved and iconic animals. epa.gov/beaches

With this #EPAstar project, University at Albany researchers will investigate how proper engineering control could allow the continued and beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil: spgv.io/6011wJ

Scientists at UVA will quantify PFAS uptake into soil + crops from contaminated irrigation water, evaluate how the uptake is influenced by other chemical + environmental conditions, and develop on-farm tools to identify unexpected PFAS sources: spgv.io/6012wK #EPAstar

With their #EPAstar grant, researchers from Temple University are looking at PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in crops grown in urban gardens: spgv.io/6013wz

Using #EPAstar grant funds, an University of Illinois research team will investigate plant uptake and mitigation of PFAS in subsurface tile-drained fields irrigated with rural sewage effluent. Learn more: spgv.io/6017wP

#EPAstar grantees from MSU are working with a farm that received land application of PFAS-contaminated biosolids to evaluate the fate, transport, plant uptake, bioaccumulation in livestock, and life cycle of PFAS during farming practices: spgv.io/6018wu

With their #EPAstar research, Texas A&M University scientists seek to comprehensively understand PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants and advance strategies to remediate PFAS in biosolids + biosolid-amended soils: spgv.io/6019wR

Congrats to #EPAstar grantees Texas Tech University whose scientists are researching potential non-traditional PFAS sources in farming operations. Learn more about their project: spgv.io/6010wr

Researchers from University of Utah are evaluating the effect of different soil management practices on the fate of PFAS in biosolids applied to soil and study the potential of PFAS uptake to plants under plant, compost, + soil types: spgv.io/6011wT #EPAstar

🔥 What happens when wildfires impact water infrastructure? Wildfire-associated contamination from benzene and other hazardous materials is not well understood. Learn about our #wildfire response and ongoing research on our 9/11 webinar at 2PM ET. epa.gov/emergency-resp…

📣 We're funding research to develop, test and deploy predictive models for novel adsorbents for removal of emerging micropollutants from water. Learn more & plan to apply by 10/2: epa.gov/research-grant…

Calling all NC A&T Aggies! Don't miss the chance (on 9/9) to meet our #STEM professionals and learn about our work as a leading #EnvironmentalScience research institution. spgv.io/6014wq North Carolina A&T

Social scientist and #EPAer Dr. Brittany Kiessling shares her expertise on community resilience and environmental cleanups on our 9/10, 3PM ET Healthy and Resilient Communities Research Webinar. Details and to register: epa.gov/research/healt… #EnvironmentalJustice

We're researching how new technologies in energy production and transportation will impact overall greenhouse gas emissions, the environment, and #PublicHealth. Check out our research here: epa.gov/climate-resear… #ClimateChange

We wrapped up the ECOS Fall Meeting with a field visit to Mashapaug Pond – a focus of #HABs research for our scientists in RI. Our team demonstrated novel HAB research approaches to understand and forecast HABs, including collaborations with Rhode Island Dept of Environmental Management. #ECOSFall24
