The Superfund Basic Research Program
The mission of SBRP is to advance science and to apply the biomedical and environmental research conducted by our program for the improvement of human health and the environment. SBRP investigates the hazardous waste and public health issues currently confronting the Southwestern region of the United States, specifically arsenic, chlorinated hydrocarbon, and mine tailings contamination. SBRP is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to environmental research and education.
TRIF-funded programs at SBRP have included:
- Superfund has established the Arizona Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants (ALEC) a state-of-the-art laboratory facility designed to advance the capability of UA to perform integrated studies of emerging and low-level contaminants in water beyond current analytical capabilities available anywhere in the Southwest. This will be a shared, interdisciplinary facility open to the three state universities and other state and regional entities.
