Air Quality
- 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 Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ 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 Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder, 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 Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ 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
