Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** agriculture is a significant source of VOC (volatile organic compounds)pollution that directly impacts neighboring communities. Researchers studying these VOC emissions have been limited by the availability of measurement technologies. The technology resulting from this sbir program will provide researchers with improved tools to measure vocs, allowing for emissions mitigation, thus benefiting agricultural communities.under section 110 of the clean air act, each state must develop a state implementation plan (SIP) to identify and mitigate pollution. Initial implementation has focused on particulate matter and select gases; however, as the impact of vocs on human health becomes more evident, these sips are starting to include such compounds. The sbir analyzer will allow for in-situ measurement of these vocs to comply with the clean air act.
