This interview will be on engineered nanoparticles in Chesapeake Bay water and in the oysters. The program will air on 88.1 FM in Baltimore (WYPR). Interested parties can listen to the interview live or on the website anytime after October 28th.
"The Environment in Focus is a twice-monthly perspective on the issues and people changing Maryland's natural world. There's a story behind every bend of the Chesapeake Bay's 11,684 miles of shoreline, in every abandoned coal mine in the Appalachian Mountains, in every exotic beetle menacing our forests and in every loophole snuck into pollution control laws in Annapolis."
