Juliana Huizenga's submission for the Oregon State University Superfund Research Center's 2022 Short Video Challenge
This video will show you where contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs, go when they enter the environment and how you can be exposed to them. Knowing where they are can help you avoid those areas and reduce your risk of coming into contact with harmful chemicals.

This video describes passive sampling devices or PSDs, a unique tool that we use to measure contaminants (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in the environment.
This module briefly explains why early embryonic zebrafish are ideally suited to identify chemical biological activity.

This module has been made possible in collaboration with Robyn Tanguay and Michael Simonich (Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology, Oregon State University).
The Robots Edge: Custom automation helps scientists screen environmental chemicals source
A video produced in collaboration with the EPA, the London School in Cottage Grove, OR and the Superfund Research Program at Oregon State University. The video shares the history of the Black Butte Mine site in Cottage Grove, OR.
The video is used for educational purposes and includes a student worksheet on the project web page: http://superfund.oregonstate.edu/mercury
In this video we'll shed some light on what PAHs are and what exposure to them might mean.
This video shows interviews with environmental health scientists at OSU, highlighting what they do, how they became scientists, what impact their work has, what they enjoy about it, and advice they have for aspiring environmental health scientists.
Description of the passive sampling device developed in the Anderson laboratory at Oregon State University.
The passive wristband samplers detect an individual's exposure to chemicals in their individual environment. This video goes behind the scenes to show how scientists extract and identify the chemicals trapped in the wristband.
This time-lapse video shows the development of a fertilized zebrafish egg. Researchers who study human development rely on animal models, such as zebrafish, to gain insight into growth and movement.
The Tanguay Lab has pioneered and established the zebrafish as a premiere model to determine the toxicity of compounds and reveal the biological mechanism for toxicity. We have demonstrated that chemicals of concern to people cause adverse effects in zebrafish. We have invented instruments and processes that make it possible to conduct zebrafish experiments with high throughput, high efficiency, and high productivity.
