Free Public Lecture, “You’re Going to Drink WHAT???: Using Living Machines to Clean Contaminated Wat

Lectures

11:00 a.m.

As the demand on the world’s water supplies increases, the need for recycling wastewater into drinking water is becoming a critical necessity in many communities.  At the same time, concern is escalating over the health problems caused by endocrine-disrupting chemicals in recycled water from everyday items like plastic bottles, medicines, and pesticides.  Join Penn State’s Rachel Brennan and learn how these chemicals can be removed from water using the roots of fungi in sustainable, energy-efficient Living Machines.
