SRP Team Release New Climate Change Adaptation Commentary
The NIEHS SRP recently published a commentary describing how SRP’s multidisciplinary, systems-focused approach can be used as a model to help overcome the challenges from climate change and pivot to additional needs as they arise. Read more in the article, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. -
SRP Welcomes New and Returning Multiproject Centers
The NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) welcomes 11 new and returning multiproject centers. These centers bring together teams of health and environmental science and engineering researchers to tackle complex problems related to hazardous substances. -
SRP Risk e-Learning Webinar Series: Climate Change and Health
SRP hosted a Risk e-Learning webinar series focused on scientific research and tools that can be used to promote health and resilience to climate-related disasters. The series featured SRP-funded researchers, collaborators, and other subject-matter experts who aim to better understand and address how climate-related events affects human exposures to hazardous substances. More information, including archival recordings, is available on the SRP Risk e-Learning webpage. -
Research Brief 341: Fighting Fluorine with Fluorine: New Materials Remove PFAS from Groundwater
Researchers funded by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) created a novel class of materials that can attract and remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. According to the authors, the new technology — called Fluor Mop — can be regenerated, reused, and is potentially less expensive than current remediation strategies. -

The NIEHS Hazardous Substance Basic Research and Training Program (Superfund Research Program [SRP]) provides practical, scientific solutions to protect health, the environment, and communities. As part of NIEHS, an Institute of the National Institutes of Health, SRP works to learn more about ways to protect the public from exposure to hazardous substances, such as industrial solvents, arsenic, lead, and mercury. These and other toxic substances are found in contaminated water, soil, and air at hazardous waste sites throughout the United States.
SRP funds university-based grants on basic biological, environmental, and engineering processes to find real and practical solutions to exposures to hazardous substances. These activities complement the work of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and other federal and state agencies.
In keeping with the NIEHS mission, SRP's teams of diverse professionals develop, test, and implement unique, solution-oriented approaches to address complex environmental health problems. These teams study environmental contaminants in order to lower environmental cleanup costs, reduce human exposure, and improve human health. SRP's central goal is to understand and break the link between chemical exposure and disease.
