 riday\, December 1\, at 11am\, Dr. Andrew Heyes\, UMCES-Chesapeake Biologi
 cal Laboratory\, will present 'Something old and something new: Tracing th
 e fate of contaminants in a changing world\,' as part of the Appalachian L
 aboratory's Visiting Scholar Seminar Series. The seminar will take place i
 n room 109 of the Appalachian Laboratory. \n\n\n \n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n'So
 mething Old' - Humans have a long history of releasing chemical contaminan
 ts into the environment. Some\, such as mercury\, are also naturally occur
 ring but have been used in human activities for centuries. Combustion of f
 ossil fuel increased mercury to levels of concern and legislation was enac
 ted in the US to curb the release. What impact did this legislation have? 
 Is anybody looking? New chemicals are being produced with little understan
 ding of their environmental fate. Structural properties of these compounds
  vary greatly\, with some being extremely stable while others rapidly degr
 ade. “Something New” - One such group of chemicals are the UV filters. Whi
 le commonly associated with sunscreens\, these chemicals are impregnated i
 nto many products to protect them from UV degradation\, thus there are mul
 tiple sources to the environment. While providing the same function\, thes
 e compounds are structurally diverse and not surprisingly behave different
 ly in the environment. With little published information about their chemi
 cal properties\, UV filters have proved to be challenging to study. I will
  discuss our findings regarding the fate of some UV filters in the marine 
 environment and where we go from here.   \n\n\n \n\n\nTo learn more about

 lks intended for scientific audiences.  For more information on our public
