Mercer students to test neighborhood environments

Jennifer Look has spoken with several Macon residents who are worried about the chemicals in their environment.

“But really, there’s a lot about Macon that is very healthy,” said Look, assistant professor of chemistry at Mercer University. “There is good air and water quality, good nutrients in the soil.”

Look decided to educate the community about their environment through student research and tests. Now the project is a reality thanks to a two-year, $50,000 grant from The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation. The university matched the grant for a total of $100,000, which is helping students study the neighborhoods around the Macon campus.

The project officially began last month, when Look purchased some necessary equipment. For now, students are learning to use those instruments and have taken a few soil and air samples. They also are learning GPS and computer programming skills as they post their data online.

This summer, students will spend the majority of their time collecting data. They will gather water, soil, paint and air samples, and they will study the chemical components of everyday items, such as jewelry and cellphones. Look wanted to collect that data to show people -- especially the younger generation -- how science impacts their lives.
