Carrie McDonough

Carrie McDonough is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research focuses on Environmental Analytical, Chemical Biology, and Green chemistry. McDonough's work investigates organic pollutants, their transformation and transport through the environment, and their impacts on water and human health. She utilizes advanced analytical techniques such as high-resolution mass spectrometry to study environmental contaminants and develop tools for risk assessment. Her research emphasizes the importance of evaluating bioavailability, bioaccumulation, and biological transformation in environmental risk assessment.

Carrie McDonough is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Health, and Environmental Engineering. Her research focuses on the identification, measurement, and fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in environmental and human matrices. She investigates the removal of PFASs using advanced filtration techniques and examines their bioaccumulation and health impacts. McDonough also explores the presence of legacy pollutants and emerging contaminants in water systems, including organophosphate esters, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and polycyclic musks. Her work emphasizes the development of analytical methods and the assessment of human exposure pathways.
