Chichedo Duru continued her work on water quality monitoring, publishing a study entitled “Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Occurrence in Gunpowder River Watershed in Maryland United States” in Water 2026’s special issue “Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Soil and Water Environment.” Duru worked with Gunpowder RIVERKEEPER® Theaux Le Gardeur and two former Gunpowder RIVERKEEPER® interns Isabel Ryen and Jennifer Galler.
Gunpowder RIVERKEEPER® is pleased to be able to provide these students with data to support their analysis and to see our former interns making the most of their experience with us to provide information on local water quality.
