This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $254,618 to the Colorado School of Mines to conduct research towards understanding the atmospheric fate of per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The research team will quantify thermodynamic properties influencing PFAS phase partitioning, estimate atmospheric lifetimes against hydroxyl radical chemistry through multiple oxidation flow reactor experiments, and develop...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the NSF Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), will provide $212,973 to the University of Utah from July 2023 to June 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the molecular and nanoscale structure and interactions of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The research will investigate PFAS surfactants in aqueous solutions and at water-air, water-oil, and water-solid...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $301,130 project grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) to study the molecular and nanoscale structure and interactions of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous solutions, at interfaces, and with other surfactants. The research aims to develop fundamental knowledge that supports improved water quality and the design of...
This $298,143 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of a portable instrument for measuring poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the University of Texas at Arlington from September 2022 through August 2025. PFAS are man-made chemicals used in firefighting foams and cleaning products that accumulate in the environment and pose health risks. Typically analyzed using expensive laboratory equipment, this new portable instrument aims to reliably measure...
This Project Grant from the US Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), provides $469,361 to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs from January 2023 to January 2026. The funding will support field observations and numerical simulations to enhance understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) deposition impacts on hydrologic systems in Ohio. Researchers will deploy air and plant samplers near...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry federal Project Grant award for $600,000 will support a 3-year research project led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside. The project, titled "Mechanistic Understanding of Biodechlorination-Facilitated Defluorination of Polychlorofluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)," aims to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the dechlorination and defluorination of PFAS, which are a class of "forever...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $454,075 project grant to Michigan State University from August 2021 through July 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds molecular-level research into per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) adsorption and dynamics in the environment. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance scientific knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awards $100,000 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship aimed at studying the fate of organic peroxy radicals in the troposphere. The research will focus on detecting the tetroxide intermediate formed in the self-reaction of peroxy radicals and measuring its decomposition kinetics, with the goal of improving theoretical models of these important atmospheric chemistry processes. The project...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,997 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to fund research aimed at advancing the use of persulfate and powdered activated carbon for in situ capture and destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminating groundwater. The 3-year project will: 1) evaluate reaction kinetics for PFAS degradation using the persulfate/activated carbon treatment process, 2)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041, Engineering, provides $241,750 to the University of Missouri System to research the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to determine how PFAS and their precursors react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone during drinking water treatment. The research...
