  Carried out experiments to determine photolysis rates for several endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in wastewater. Adapted investigative procedures for examining prior chemical compounds to the study of wastewater contaminants using new research equipment. Such investigative procedures included flow modeling for a non-ideal reactor, determining the UV and fluorescent spectra of the chemical compounds being studied, extraction techniques for extremely low concentration contaminant levels, and finding surrogate chemical compounds with degradation rates similar to the hydrophobic EDCs being studied for analysis in aqueous environments.
