Project Title: Adsorption of Blue Food Dye onto Granular Activated Carbon: Experimental and Class Comparison

The objective of this study is to quantify adsorption of a food-color dye onto granular activated carbon (GAC) under batch conditions and determine equilibrium characteristics over a seven-day period. Using color intensity as a surrogate for dye concentration, the experiment aims to develop a visual color scale for concentration calibration and to derive adsorption parameters using Freundlich or Langmuir isotherm models. The procedure emphasizes precision, consistency, and reproducibility within the limitations of the provided field-style kit. Project Paper

Project Title: Haloacetic Acids (HAA5): Regulation, Toxicity, Occurrence, Trends & EPA Violations 

This project summarizes the national regulatory framework, toxicity basis, and occurrence patterns of Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) in U.S. drinking water systems. Using EPA Six-Year Review data, SDWIS violation reports, and national occurrence datasets, we evaluated (1) how HAA5 concentrations vary by geography, system size, and source water type; (2) whether exceedances justify regulatory action; and (3) treatment and mitigation approach that utilities can adopt.
