Susan Richardson is the Arthur Sease Williams Professor of Chemistry and Environmental Science in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina. Richardson studies drinking water quality. The water that we drink is treated with agents that kill harmful pathogens, but those agents will often oxidize with organic matter to transform into equally-harmful Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs). Richardson will discuss the research that goes into controlling these DBPs in our drinking water.
