The focus of the University of Arizona SBRP is Hazardous Waste Risk & Remediation in the Southwest. Our program is starting its 16th year of studying hazardous waste issues pertaining to the southwestern region of the U.S. The main toxicants investigated by our program researchers are arsenic, halogenated organics like trichloroethylene (TCE), and mine tailings. Our objective is to improve the risk assessment process by developing better toxicologic and hydrogeologic tools, and to improve the remediation of Federal and State Superfund sites by developing more effective, economical remediation strategies and technologies.
