Dr. Arjun Venkatesan

You are invited to the Graduate seminar: “Unveiling processes affecting leaching of PFAS from sewage sludges and biosolids” by the Christopher M. Sales, PhD, Monday, February 3, 2025, from 4 pm to 5:30 pm, in Tiernan Hall, Room 106.

Very nicely written article and a work that I did as a PhD student resurfaces. Excited to be quoted in this @nytimes article on #PFAS in #biosolids nytimes.com/2024/12/27/cli…

Emerging Contaminants Research Laboratory (ECRL) group @NJIT_Civil - Fall 2024

You are invited to the Graduate seminar “Life-Cycle Reliability, Risk, Resilience, and Sustainability of Civil Infrastructure under Multi-hazards” with prof. Dan M. Frangopol, on September 23, 2024, (4 pm - 5:30 pm), in Kupfrian Hall 205. Scan the QR code to access the Zoom link!

Exciting new research in #ESAdvances by @arjun_water & colleagues aiming to improve #PFAS #remediation at environmentally relevant levels! Read this work for free now #OpenAccess ⬇ doi.org/10.1039/D4VA00…

@NirupamAich Thanks Nirupam!

@arjun_water @EnvSciRSC Cool work Arjun!

New publication in @EnvSciRSC. Enhanced coagulation in the presence of a cationic surfactant significantly improves the removal of regulated #PFAS from drinking water doi.org/10.1039/D4VA00…

Congratulations to my student @JayFor_Justice for succesfully completing his Master’s thesis!! Proud of you! @nysccwt

New HOT article in #ESWRT: 'Effect of chain length, electrolyte composition and aerosolization on the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances during electrochemical oxidation' by Kaushik Londhe & Arjun K. Venkatesan ➡ doi.org/10.1039/D3EW00…

This ES&T study from @AcadSinica investigated #PFAS concentrations in the muscle tissues of sharks from two marine ecosystems with contrasting relative human population densities. Read this #OpenAccess article here 👉 go.acs.org/adj

New collaborative work published in @EnvSciTech reports the occurrence and concentration of #PFAS in #shark tissues from two contrasting marine ecosystems. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thanks to @njit for highlighting our #PFAS work. @NJIT_Civil news.njit.edu/novel-pre-trea…

@a_s_adeleye @SERDP_ESTCP @NSF Thank you!

@arjun_water @SERDP_ESTCP @NSF Congrats, Arjun!

New publication from our group demonstrated successful removal of both short-chain and long-chain #PFAS to below detection using foam fractionation. Thanks to support from @SERDP_ESTCP @NSF #1440 doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

New publication in @EnvSciRSC that dives deep into the mechanism by which #PFAS is removed during electrochemical oxidation. We found aerosolization due to gas bubbles generated in the system can be an important pathway by which PFAS was removed! doi.org/10.1039/D3EW00…

@NirupamAich Thank you Nirupam!

@arjun_water Congratulations to both of you!

Congratulations to my first PhD student. Very proud of you Dr. Kaushik Londhe. Go places!

Excited to learn that our project was selected for funding by the @usbr Desalination and Water Purification Research Program. In this project we will develop and test a modified enhanced coagulation process to remove #PFAS @NJIT_Civil @NJIT usbr.gov/newsroom/news-…

PFAS are chemicals found in our water, soil, air, and food. They're dangerous, and my Administration is addressing them. The @EPA is issuing the first-ever national standard to address PFAS and delivering $1 billion from my agenda to help states detect and treat this pollutant.

📢 Today is a Historic Day! ⚠April 10: Final PFAS National Primary Drinking Water #Regulation 🚰 In addition to today’s final rule, $1 billion in newly available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help states and territories implement #PFAS testing and treatment.
