Recycled water is potentially hampered by the presence of contaminants, that could harm human health. Biochar-based adsorption has been widely assessed as a means of removing pollutants prior to use. Dr. Ashworth will speak about his research findings assessing biochar potential in mitigating the spread of pollutants in recycled water for agricultural production.
This month's speakers are Dr. Daniel Ashworth
Dr. Daniel Ashworth holds a B.S. in Rural Resource Management from the University of Plymouth, UK, an M.S. in Applied Environmental Science from the University of London, UK, and a Ph.D. in Soil Science from the University of Reading, UK. Dr. Ashworth is a research soil scientist at the USDA-ARS US Salinity Laboratory in Riverside, CA. His current research focuses on chemicals of emerging concern in agriculture: (i) understanding the transfers of antibiotics and PFAS from treated wastewater and manure/biosolids to soils and crops, (ii) mitigating these transfers using biochar as a soil amendment, and (iii) removing these compounds from treated wastewater using novel biochar-based filtration approaches. The overall goal of Dr. Ashworth’s research program is to reduce the human health risks of chemicals of emerging concern by understanding and mitigating their transfers into food chains. He has around 70 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
