Title of PhD: Brominated Micropollutants in the Steel Industry
Supervisor: Dr Stuart Harrad
Daniel is studying the emissions of Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PBDD/Fs) from the steel industry. He is using trace analysis chemistry to determine the concentrations of these pollutants in various air, soil, dust and raw material samples to try to determine the emission levels and identify any possible sources.
