About
Dr. Yun is an analytical chemist who is interested in studying the organic contaminants impact on ecological and human health. Her educational background includes degrees in ecology and environmental engineering.
Prior to joining NRRI, she worked on per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) bioaccumulation in freshwater aquatic ecosystems, to evaluate environmental factors influences on PFAS bioaccumulation and transport among multiple trophic level organisms. She specializes in developing sample processing methods and analytical methods to quantify organic contaminants, such as PFAS, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
