Shownotes Transcript

Dr. Kanjana Thepboriruk sits down with Dr. Melissa Lenczewski to discuss groundwater quality and testing in Southeast Asia and the United States. Together they bring to light how Arsenic and Microplastics have a strong presence in the water quality of countries that have poor infrastructure for testing and regulation, and the issue of water quality could lead to permanent structural damage if not properly monitored. Dr. Melissa Lenczewski is a professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment at Northern Illinois University, a specialist in groundwater testing, and a Fullbright Research scholar of Cambodia and Thailand.
