Research Interest:Environmental Science.

Current Research: My research focuses on developing new methods for determining heavy metal in water. The acute toxicity of metal lead in children is well documented in clinical studies. Metalloids such as bismuth and arsenic are less toxic but when present in more than trace concentrations could be harmful to health.
