The UM-SRP will involve four projects whose long term goals are to provide solutions through innovative research and technology that increase public health resilience by advancing knowledge and combating the impact of harmful toxicants associated with plastics on human health, and sustainability of the environment. Because of wide-spread contamination by phthalates and their ubiquitous presence in Superfund sites, data generated by the UM-SRP can be generalized and will be applicable to other Superfund sites, other regions of the US, and globally.
