This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $253,000 to the University of South Carolina to conduct a multi-part research study on a new class of disinfection by-products called halocyclopentadienes (HCPDs) found in drinking water. The key objectives are to: 1) assess the national occurrence of HCPDs in drinking water, 2) determine factors influencing HCPD formation, and 3) investigate the genotoxicity (potential cancer risk)...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded Baylor University a $119,983 Project Grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant supports collaborative research to optimize the treatment of cyanotoxins through UV/chlorine disinfection methods while minimizing disinfection byproducts and toxicity. Over three years from August 2021 through July 2024, Baylor University researchers will work to...
This $349,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research to compare the concentrations and toxicity contributions of different classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during drinking water treatment. The key objectives are to: 1) Compare DBP formation and toxicity between chlorine/chloramine disinfection and granular activated carbon treatment followed by chlorination; 2) Assess how water source, age,...
This $440,135 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to develop a novel approach for identifying toxic byproducts and their precursors in drinking water treated with chemical oxidants. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the five-year award will support the principal investigator's research objectives to create a microbead-based reactivity-directed analysis assay for detecting organic electrophiles in water matrices and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $280,194.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, will support a collaborative research project between the University of Utah and the University of Southern California. The project aims to study the chemical processes that occur when chlorine is added to wastewater to remove harmful bacteria and viruses, as this can lead to the unintended production of toxic aldehydes. The key goals are to determine the kinetics,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a 3-year, $300,000 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to conduct fundamental research on the use of novel krypton chloride excimer lamps (KrCl* excilamps) emitting UV radiation at 222 nm for the degradation and mineralization of organic micropollutants in water and wastewater. The key objectives are to: 1) measure photolysis properties of...
This $262,158 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) will fund research at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to develop advanced oxidation processes for controlling the formation of iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) in drinking water treatment. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate the use of advanced oxidation processes like ferrate, ozone, and UV to optimize the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to North Dakota State University (NDSU) to conduct collaborative research on enhanced photolysis and advanced oxidation processes using novel krypton chloride (KrCl*) excimer lamps that emit ultraviolet (UV) light at 222 nm. The objective is to systematically investigate the use of KrCl* excilamps for photolysis and UV-based advanced oxidation...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) supports research at South Dakota State University to develop advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for controlling iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) in drinking water. The $209,472 award will fund a 3-year collaborative effort to investigate the use of oxidants like ferrate, ozone, and UV photolysis to efficiently...
The University of Florida received a three-year, $330,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to research the atmospheric processes of microcystins in airborne cyanobacterial aerosols. Funded through NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 examining the transport and breakdown of toxins produced by cyanobacteria in atmospheric conditions. As the place of performance, the University will leverage its...
