Federal Project Grant Award Summary Purdue University received a $545,869 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041, Engineering) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031. The award funds a five-year research initiative characterizing chemical emissions and multiphase transformations from personal care product use in indoor environments. The research deliverables include controlled emission cell experiments to quantify temperature- and composition-dependent release rates across product classes; full-scale experiments conducted in a residential research test house to measure airborne persistence, surface sorption and re-emission, nanoparticle formation, and ventilation-driven transport under variable building operating conditions; and high-resolution, real-time chemical datasets generated using online mass spectrometry and advanced aerosol instrumentation to resolve volatility and composition-specific gas and particle phase behavior. In addition to research outputs, the award supports development of artificial intelligence-based models for predicting chemical movement and enabling ventilation control strategies to improve indoor air quality in residential buildings. The CAREER award integrates educational components including hands-on engineering laboratory experiences, service-learning design projects, and public demonstrations using a mobile test house to advance Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. The research is performed at Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana campus and addresses fundamental gaps in understanding how product usage, thermal conditions, and building operations affect chemical behavior indoors, with direct applications to indoor air quality management and public health.
