Legacy and Emerging Contaminants in Water and Wastewater

Daniel D. Snow is a Research Professor at the University of Nebraska, and Director of the Water Sciences Laboratory, a part of the Nebraska Water Center and Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute. Over the past 30+ years, his research has focused on studying the environmental fate of emerging contaminants and agrichemicals in ground and surface water. He directs staff and students in the development of analytical methods using advanced mass spectrometry technologies to better understand and protect water resources. He has coauthored over 200 refereed journal articles, book chapters and conference proceedings. He is an associate editor for the journals Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology and MDPI Water. He has also served as a review panelist and consultant for the American Association of Analytical Chemists, Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative, CRDF Global and several international research funding programs. Dr. Paromita Chakraborty is  Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering in SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, Tamil Nadu. Dr.Chakraborty leads the Environmental Science and Technology research group and working on the multimedia transport of legacy and new persistent organic pollutants, bioavailability of organic contaminants, environmental chemistry, transformation and remediation of endocrine disrupting compounds, mismanagement of plastic and electronic waste, conversion of waste into wealth. Dr.Chakraborty is the principal investigator for projects funded by national funding agencies like DST, MoEFCC and international funding agencies like Research Council of Norway, Norwegian Embassy and Swiss Development Cooperation. She has published over 100 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters.  . Her research has been used as the basis for the creation of several policy briefs that were important for decision makers. She is the recipient of prestigious Water Advanced Research and Innovation (WARI) Fellowship 2016, awarded by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum. Among  numerous awards that Dr Chakraborty received, Early career chemist 2015 and Hiyoshi Environmental Award 2020 are the most prestigious ones. Dr. Chakraborty is the special mentor for the Association of Common Wealth Universities Blue Charter Fellowship. She is an associate editor in the Arabian Journal of Geosciences and is in the editorial board of the Science of the Total Environment journal.
