• University of North Carolina and University of Arizona Bioavailability Educational Materials The University of North Carolina Superfund Research Program (SRP) Research Translation Core (RTC), along with the University of Arizona (UA) RTC, recently released several innovative educational materials on bioavailability of arsenic and lead, two of the most common contaminants of concern found at Superfund National Priorities List sites. The materials were developed through the UNC and UA SRPs' participation in the EPA pilot Partnerships in Technical Assistance Program (PTAP).
