  • 353 - Engineering Hydrogel Beads to Enhance Bioremediation of Groundwater Contaminant -- Semprini, Rochefort, Fogg, Hyman
    Release Date: 05/01/2024

    Oregon State University scientists and engineers developed an approach to cleaning polluted groundwater that uses tiny beads containing chemical-eating bacteria. In this study, funded by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP), the team identified a formula to maximize bead durability and bioremediation, or the removal of contaminants using bacteria.
