Chicago Chromatography Discussion Group

A Method for Emerging Contaminants from Tire Particles in Salmon

Westwood Tavern

Join us for a dinner and networking event Wednesday November 5, 2025 at the Westwood Tavern in Schaumburg, IL. The lecture will be presented by Don Shelly. This presentation will discuss the development of a novel method for analyzing salmon for the pollutant 6PPD-Quinone. 6PPD-Q was pinpointed in 2020 as the cause of mysterious mass deaths of coho salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Fish exposed to it showed erratic behavior and died before spawning. Although coho salmon are the best-known victims of this poison, other species may also be at risk, and environmental toxicologists are still investigating the broader ecological consequences.
