This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), provides $199,965.00 to Weber State University (WSU) to quantify the impacts of halogen emissions on atmospheric oxidation rates and particulate matter concentrations in the Salt Lake City, Utah region. The two-year project, titled "EMBRACE-AGS-SEED: Quantification of Halogen Emission Impacts on Atmospheric Oxidation Rates in Urban Atmospheres," will involve highly specialized field measurements and analysis of chlorine, bromine, and hydroxyl radical chemistry in the local airshed. The award enables a collaborative research partnership between WSU and Aerodyne Research Inc., providing WSU undergraduate students access to state-of-the-art atmospheric chemistry instrumentation and hands-on field experience. The project aims to better understand how halogen emissions may impact air quality and public health in the Salt Lake City area.
