About the Project

The growth of lead apatite crystals is of great importance to the reduction of lead concentrations in tap water yet little is known about their chemistry. This research would look at how different dissolved species trace metals, phosphate and dissolved organics effects lead apatite crystal growth and solubility. A reduction in lead concentration in tap water would benefit public health.
