2021 P3 Expo - HAB Early Mitigation by Magnetic Photocatalysts
Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL
Frequent outbreaks of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have impacted human health, economic viability, as well as recreational activities of many communities in the U.S. In this study described in the video below, HABs would be mitigated by early detection following mitigation strategy using magnetic photocatalysts – γFe2O3/TiO2 for the first time. Communities impacted by HAB outbreaks would benefit from the project by increasing their resilience to these events.
