Her research  seeks to better understand how chemicals released by human activity interact with natural ecosystems and affect living systems. Her work quantitatively analyzes the entire exposure pathway for pollutants to identify key processes that have a large influence on their accumulation in living organisms combining environmental measurements with statistical and mechanistic simulation models to project chemical levels over space and time. This integrated approach allows a better understanding of  how human activities and climate change are affecting human and ecological health risks associated with environmental toxicants. \nPer and polyfluroralkyl substances (PFAS) are a large diverse class of highly fluorinated synthetic organic substances that have widespread use in modern commerce and are now detected in virtually all Americans.  Much PFAS research has focused on contaminated drinking water and affected communities. This presentation will highlight what we have learned about drivers of national scale drinking water quality and potential concerns for the future\, as well as new work on alternate exposure pathways\, differences between contaminated sites and remote communities\, and timescales of responses to changes in chemical production. PFAS will be used as a case study to highlight some contemporary challenges associated with global chemical manufacturing and our reactive regulatory and risk evaluation strategies \nThis event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI).

Myneni is the final speaker in the Fall 2026 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series. \nCenturies of farming\, grazing and erosion have depleted essential minerals and nutrients from topsoils\, threatening global crop yields. The presentation outlines how to revive soil health\, and regenerate soil minerals using optimum earth materials\, while also helping capture the atmospheric CO2 and lowering other greenhouse gas emissions. \nThis seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Briger Atrium at 11:45 a.m. Click here to stream it live\, no registration needed. If you’d like to submit a question for the Q&A\, you can do so here. \nDirections to Briger Hall.
