Penn State Harrisburg graduate students in environmental pollution control Rizki Prasetyaningtyas and Saskia Putri have been eating lots of bananas and oranges. All this fruit consumption has a purpose. The students are testing whether fruit peels can be used to remove heavy metals from wastewater coming from textile mills like the ones in their native country Indonesia.
Rizki Prasetyaningtyas, left, and Saskia Putri, who were awarded full scholarships to study in the United States through USAID, said they chose Penn State Harrisburg because they were intrigued by the chance to join small classes with plenty of hands-on practice and research opportunities.
