Dr. Foday M. Jaward's research interests include: sources, fate and behavior of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment and the effects on human health; and the development and use of passive samplers for air sampling of POPs. His previous research focused on measuring the spatial and temporal trends/variations in ambient concentrations of POPs and the processes controlling their global cycling in source regions and in remote areas across Europe, Asia, along mountain ranges and along the Atlantic Ocean using active high volume air samplers, and two types of passive air samplers – polyurethane foam disks and semi-permeable membrane devices.
Funding Opportunities for Graduate Students in Environmental Health
I have funding available for qualified, dedicated and motivated graduate students for MS or PhD degrees in Environmental Health. Research areas include sources, fate and behavior of pollutants in the environment and their effects on human health; air quality related research topics etc. Students with very strong undergraduate or graduate level degrees in chemistry, environmental science, biology, engineering, or related field of study are encouraged to apply through the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health. Applicants should refer to the USF Graduate School admissions procedures as well as requirements specific to the department.
