A video created by Dr. Jo Anne Balanay titled “East Carolina University Town Creek Project” has been selected and shown during the EHS Film Festival, as part of the NIEHS Environmental Health Science (EHS) Fest in Durham, NC, on December 6-8, 2016. The video features the research project conducted by Dr. Charles Humphrey (EH faculty) and Jamil Blackmon (MS Environmental Health student) that investigated the benzene concentration in the water of Town Creek and in the air offgassing from the soil near the “seep” area where hydrocarbon contamination is apparent.  The video and other selected films were viewed by the participants of the EHS Fest at the Carolina Theatre during the evening of December 7, 2016.
