The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded New York University $400,000 under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program for a three-year project grant concluding in August 2025. The goal of the research is to develop and validate novel passive sampling designs that can measure a diverse suite of air toxics and contaminants of emerging concern in ambient urban air at low detection limits. Activities include refining polyethylene films for passive air sampling of hazardous...
This $1,600,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program aims to test engineering controls to enable continued beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil while producing PFAS-free products. The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with/without powdered activated carbon, (2) developing machine learning models for PFAS accumulation predictions, (3)...
The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) was awarded a $1,600,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509). The goal of this 21-month project is to comprehensively understand PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants, advance strategies for PFAS remediation in biosolids/soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS. Key activities include developing...
This Project Grant award, totaling $1,599,522, was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509). The goal of this project is to enhance the understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) uptake and accumulation in plants grown in subsurface tile-drained fields irrigated with rural sewage effluent, explore the physical and molecular mechanisms that govern PFAS uptake and accumulation in...
This $798,928 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development supports the development and improvement of an online detection and quantification method for understudied toxic plastic additives in atmospheric particulate matter. Funded under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA #66.509), the University of California, San Diego will calibrate an extractive electrospray high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer to...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $500,000 project grant under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) to Colorado State University (CSU). The goal of this 27-month project is to: 1) develop models of the cumulative health burden experienced by marginalized communities in Colorado's Front Range region to understand the relationships between environmental and social exposures and health outcomes, and 2) facilitate resident roundtables to...
This Project Grant award, provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to assess local watersheds and food sources in the Peskotomuhkati (Passamaquoddy) tribal homelands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulation. The $1,558,555 award, effective from December 1, 2024 to May 12, 2025, will (1) quantify PFAS and heavy metals within local water sources and fish species, (2) evaluate the...
This $1,599,998.00 Project Grant award was made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509). The overall goal is to equip farmers with integrated and scalable per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mitigation strategies to reduce risks associated with producing forages, milk, and meat on PFAS-contaminated soil. Key activities include: (1) identifying PFAS reduction methods for forage crops, (2) evaluating PFAS...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) to the University of Utah. The goal is to understand the sewage sludge treatment processes contributing to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning into biosolids, PFAS accumulation in agricultural soils, and potential mitigation strategies. Key activities include national sampling of wastewater treatment...
