Her work has focused on investigating the fate and transport of various pollutants including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Her investigations in this area involved assessment of contamination risks in drinking water systems using mapping tools, sampling and stakeholder engagement. Sweta\u2019s research was instrumental in predicting high-risk areas of drinking water pollutants such as heavy metals and PFAS. She is experienced with methods for determining hot-spot areas using online ArcGIS for any contaminants. Sweta has prepared Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for PFAS sampling in water based on US EPA methodology and has also implemented several innovative techniques for remediation of PFAS contamination.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243;
