The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded $354,375 to the University of California, Los Angeles through its Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) on April 3, 2026, for a research project extending through April 2, 2028. The award funds a comprehensive study characterizing indoor and outdoor air quality exposure risks resulting from the January 2025 Los Angeles urban wildfires (Palisades and Eaton fires). The research addresses a critical gap in post-fire exposure assessment by monitoring fine particles, ultrafine particles, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) across approximately 50 households located in burn zones, with particular emphasis on prolonged off-gassing from building materials and contaminated dust resuspension during cleanup activities. The project delivers research products focused on quantifying exposure pathways in indoor environments where residents spend the majority of their time. Through real-time air quality monitoring and chemical analysis, the study generates empirical data on benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), and toxic heavy metals concentrations during both active burning and post-fire phases. Findings from this investigation will inform strategies to reduce exposure burden and protect public health in disaster-affected communities, advancing NIEHS's mission to translate environmental exposure research into actionable health protection measures across vulnerable populations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
