Gabriel Lobo's Solution for Safer Lead Pipes Highlighted at ACS Conference
Doctoral student Gabriel Lobo's cost effective solution to make lead pipes safer in distribution systems was highlighted at the recent 2019 American Chemical Society conference in Orlando, FL.
"More than 18 million people in the US are currently at risk of developing health problems from lead leaching from pipes in their water distribution systems," says Gabriel Lobo.
Lobo became involved in this issue when his adviser, Professor Ashok Gadgil, began to focus on finding a solution for the lead problems in Flint, MI.
