The UW’s Superfund Research Program (SRP) studies environmental and human health impacts of neurotoxic chemicals commonly found at hazardous waste sites. Superfund sites are federally prioritized for cleanup because they contain hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment. SRP’s researchers and community engagement staff are invested in the cleanup of Seattle’s Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund site and have partnered with the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition and other community organizations affected by the site since it was listed for cleanup in 2001.
