The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $249,999 Project Grant to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to conduct collaborative research on characterizing the sources and sinks of the oxidative potential of indoor particulate matter (PM2.5). The overarching goal is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the oxidative potential and reactivity of indoor PM2.5 from both indoor and ambient sources. The specific objectives are to: 1)...

The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a 3-year, $250,000 Project Grant to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to characterize the sources and sinks of the oxidative potential (OP) of indoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The objectives are to 1) investigate the evolution and dynamics of the OP and reactivity of indoor PM2.5 from indoor and ambient sources, 2) establish an inventory of the OP of PM2.5 emitted...

This $6,525,894 project grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act program (CFDA 66.034) provides funding to the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (CGS-USGBC) to build capacity among school district staff in low-income, disadvantaged, and tribal communities to establish and implement indoor air quality (IAQ) management plans and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions plans. Key activities include hiring five regional coordinators to foster...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $313,372.00 to ITA International LLC to develop a holistic methodology for quantifying concentrations of ultrafine particulates (UFPs), microplastics (MNPs), and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in production environments. The goal is to reliably quantify the compositional contributions of these airborne particulates and...

This $213,226 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support collaborative research at Case Western Reserve University to investigate the chemical and biological factors affecting indoor air quality. The project aims to determine how changes in indoor surface chemical composition and air pollutant distribution impact microbial gene expression and emissions of microbial volatile organic compounds. Through laboratory experiments,...
