Environmental Science Research Team Rural agricultural communities are exposed to a variety of pesticides due to their proximity to crops that are sprayed.  Water quality and children's health can be major concerns for many rural communities.  Our researchers are working with  Southeast Missouri communities to help address their concerns about water quality and overall environmental quality.  Members of our environmental science team are investigating the occurrence of persistent pesticides in soil and water samples from these rural communities.  Results from this work will help the affected communities make decisions that will ultimately improve their quality of life and health.
