This $550,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund a 5-year research project at the University of Miami. The project aims to quantify the emission and health impacts of aerosols generated from biomass burning in Southeast U.S. wetlands. Key research activities include using advanced tools and controlled laboratory experiments to study the physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of these aerosols. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program grant for $282,862 awarded to Oklahoma State University (OSU) aims to investigate the health risks of e-cigarettes and cannabis aerosols, particularly those containing unregulated synthetic cooling agents. The project will utilize an advanced in vitro artificial lung system to quantify the exposure and toxicity levels of these vaping aerosols and assess variability in lung responses. The research objectives...
This $549,555.45 federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research program (CFDA 93.077) supports research to investigate the exposure and toxicity of chemical constituents of concern, including metals and aldehydes, as well as the pulmonary health effects, including inflammation, from using new and emerging electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) devices among young adults....
The National Science Foundation awarded a $533,566 Project Grant to the University of Miami under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the acquisition of an Aerosol Characterization System. The System will be operated at the University's Ragged Point site in Barbados and is expected to open new research avenues related to the transport of African dust to the Americas, the impact of ocean-derived organic aerosols in the marine boundary layer, wildfire smoke, and cloud and radiation...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $486,271 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The five-year award will fund research into aerosol transport through well-defined periodic porous metamaterials, with the goal of building a fundamental understanding of how aerosols move through structures similar to the human lung. The grantee will study aerosol...
