This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $166,936 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct a three-part study on a new class of disinfection by-products called halocyclopentadienes (HCPDs) in drinking water. The research aims to: 1) assess the nationwide occurrence of HCPDs in U.S. drinking water, 2) determine key factors that influence HCPD formation, and 3) investigate the genotoxicity of these compounds. The...
This $270,411 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology to investigate the transformation of phenols to aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water treatment. The research aims to identify critical factors and develop strategies to minimize the production of intermediate halophenols, which can form during the chlorination process used to...
This $419,275 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to identify and characterize high-molecular weight disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed in chlorinated drinking water. The project will leverage advanced mass spectrometry techniques to study the complex mixture of organic compounds in natural and engineered water systems, with the goal of improving understanding of DBP composition and formation mechanisms. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) was granted to South Dakota State University in the amount of $229,589 to be performed from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The primary objectives of this research project are to: 1) use machine learning to identify critical factors in the transformation of phenols to aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water, 2) investigate the formation of aliphatic DBPs and halophenols...
This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund research at the University of South Carolina from August 2021 through July 2024 related to optimizing the removal of cyanotoxins from water through UV/chlorine treatment processes. The goal is to develop strategies that minimize the formation of disinfection byproducts and reduce toxicity, in alignment with the NSF Directorate for Engineering's...
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 $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology will develop machine learning (ML) tools to identify and prioritize high-risk disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. The project aims to: (1) create a database of regulated and unregulated DBPs to address gaps in occurrence and toxicity data, (2) use ML to prioritize high-risk DBPs based on their potential health impacts, and...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $482,351 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the impacts of drinking water treatment and distribution processes on the survival and pathogenesis of water-associated pathogens, such as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The project aims to investigate how different drinking water treatment train configurations and associated chemical oxidant stressors influence the functional...
