About the Contributor
Dr. Freedman’s major teaching and research interests include hazardous waste management, water and wastewater treatment, and biodegradation / bioremediation of recalcitrant organic compounds. His research focuses on the application of environmental microbiology to development of enhanced methods for biodegrading hazardous organic contaminants. Current studies include development of bioaugmentation cultures for chlorinated ethenes that grow at low pH, evaluation of bioremediation strategies to treat high concentration of halogenated methanes, use of biostimulation to enhance biogeochemical degradation of chlorinated ethenes in fractured sandstone, and determining the anaerobic biodegradability of 1,4-dioxane.
