Ridding the environment of toxic waste, and finding creative uses for industrial byproducts, is the business of Flinders ARC Discovery Early Career researcher Dr Justin Chalker.

The  lecturer in synthetic chemistry, whose laboratory at Flinders has discovered a new material capable of removing toxic metals from water, will join other Adelaide early-career researchers at a Fresh Science event on Monday night.

With other emerging Adelaide university researchers, Dr Chalker will share his discoveries in relation to remediation and toxic metal detection in industrial waste. See more.
