Marina Vance, an assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering and core faculty of the Environmental Engineering program at the ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ has been awarded a $1.25 million grant from the Alfred P. Sloan
When an infectious airborne illness strikes, some hospitals use negative pressure rooms to isolate and treat patients. These rooms use ventilation controls to keep germ-filled air contained rather than letting it circulate throughout the hospital.
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ have demonstrated a new mobile, ground-based system that could scan and map atmospheric gas plumes over kilometer distances.The system
Because of testing inefficiencies, maintenance inadequacies and other factors, diesel cars, trucks and buses worldwide emit 4.6 million tons more harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) than standards allow, according to a new study co-
When David Pfotenhauer decided to pursue a PhD at ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ, he knew that he wanted to specialize in an application-based science that would allow him get out into communities and use his knowledge to address public issues.
A team of researchers led by the ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ has secured a $1.3 million grant from the...
New air quality research is investigating a major, but often overlooked contributor to outdoor pollution and climate: burning of solid fuel for cooking and heating.Cookstove studies typically evaluate how they contribute to indoor air quality issues
