This week, we first learned about the presence of lead in the environment, in particular in our soil, and the adverse health effects of lead exposure. The participants of the previous program had selected different sites on our campus for their soil collection and determination of lead contamination. We wanted to build on their results and collect samples at different sites to determine how soil concentrations of lead may vary across the campus. Working in teams, we decided where we wanted to collect our samples and collected our samples. We then took our samples to the lab to grind, weigh and sift them-they were then ready to go to Dr. Unrine's laboratory to be analyzed for lead.
The SURES participants talked with Dr. Stanifer who discussed her career journey and work with community engagement.
