Drs. Patrick Gurian and Mira Olson have been selected by the Water Environment Research Foundation to lead a consortium of five universities (Drexel, University of Arizona, Carnegie Mellon, Michigan State, and Utah State) in the development of a framework for assessing risks from pathogens in biosolids. The project will develop new models of pathogen transport and formulate policy recommendations informed by quantitative risk estimates. The budget for this project is $600,000.
