Chapman Professor of Business Administration Emeritus Stephen A. Greyser ’56 said that “it took all my training in jaywalking as someone who grew up in Boston to be able to navigate Harvard Square on foot for four years.” But according to Henry...

She insists the feared health risks of chemicals in water-from fertility problems to cancers-have been overstated and the effectiveness of modern processes for removing contaminants undersold. "The treatment processes are very, very efficient," Chapman says. "Nothing is completely risk free, but the risk of these things is so tiny compared with the risks that we are exposed to daily, like getting in a car." She says scientists need...
...With researchers from seven countries, Chapman and an Australian team are devising a new set of monitoring tools to better detect the presence of specific hormones in water. One of the criticisms of using recycled water for drinking is that it can't be tested for every possible contaminant. But Chapman says the Global Water Research Coalition project, due to be completed mid-next year, will make testing unnecessary. Rather than having to carry out hundreds of costly and time-consuming tests for contaminants and speculating on their possible effects, scientists using the "toolbox" will be able to take...
