The search for solutions to dangerous water quality issues in refugee camps is driving an 黑料老司机lab group's partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - an agreement that will put the university's faculty and students to work both in the lab and on the ground in Kenya, Uganda, Liberia and Bangladesh.
