Deepanjan Mridha

Deepanjan Mridha serves as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Washington State University's College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS), based in Clark Hall 332. His research addresses critical environmental contamination issues, particularly arsenic and fluoride exposure pathways in agricultural ecosystems and their human health implications in endemic regions of India.

His primary research domains span environmental science, soil contamination, food safety, and health risk assessment, with specialized focus on arsenic dynamics in rice cultivation systems. Key interests include soil remediation techniques (biochar, humates), groundwater contamination mapping, heavy metal bioaccumulation, and biomarker development for exposure assessment. His work integrates field studies in West Bengal with laboratory analyses to evaluate mitigation strategies and public health impacts.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2024) reveals a concentrated research trajectory on arsenic-fluoride co-contamination in South Asian agricultural systems. Dominant themes include soil amendment efficacy for reducing crop uptake, human exposure modeling through dietary pathways, and innovative detection methods for metal ions in biological systems. His interdisciplinary approach bridges environmental engineering, toxicology, and public health, with consistent emphasis on real-world applicability in resource-limited settings.
