Mercer, about the research&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evaluating State Nitrification Action Plans for Controlling Distribution System Nitrification and MDBPs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Natchaya Luangphairin, J. Alan Roberson, and Katherine Alfredo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, Fla. My research focus has been on drinking water treatment and removal of emerging contaminants—specifically by exploring ways of applying community dynamics and agent-based modeling to biofilm development in a water treatment plant's biological filter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jade Luangphairin works with a flow cytometer&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long before I began formal scientific training, I was conducting imaginary experiments while playing “scientist” with my younger sister, June. That childhood fun became formal when I received training at a national research center in Thailand (in food science); I cultured bacteria from yogurt and stool samples and even learned how to ferment fish sauce. That led me down the biotechnology path, where I earned my associate's degree and spent a few years in quality control, testing the stability of drugs for a pharmaceutical company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time, I knew I wanted a career that would improve people's lives and naturally thought I would do that through health science. However, while completing my undergraduate degree in chemical engineering at USF, I stumbled upon the water sector through a research co-op at the City of Tampa's water utility. Since then, my career path has been clear: I wanted to work in water. With the encouragement and the confidence I gained from my City of Tampa coworkers, who taught me to run jar tests, I approached Dr. Katherine Alfredo and later began my PhD program doing water quality and policy research under her guidance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most water utilities disinfect drinking water with free chlorine or chloramine. Free chlorine is stronger, but when it reacts with natural organic matter, it can form harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs). To reduce DBPs and meet the US Environ-mental Protection Agency's rule, many utilities use chloramine, which is less reactive, produces fewer DBPs, and provides a longer-lasting disinfectant residual throughout the distribution system. However, chloramine is made by adding ammonia to chlorine. If that bond breaks, free ammonia becomes food for bacteria, which converts ammonia into nitrite and nitrate (nitrification). Elevated nitrite is especially concerning for infants because it can interfere with the blood's ability to carry oxygen, causing “blue baby syndrome.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jade (front, left) conducts field sampling at a water treatment plant&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jade (front, left) enjoys a meal with friends&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, but there are so many!
