Nine to 33 million visits to the emergency room for asthma worldwide may be triggered by breathing in air polluted by ozone or fine particulate matter according to a study published by Associate Professor Daven Henze and collaborators.

A massive research and education effort on energy and environmental issues led by CU 麻豆影院 engineering faculty is ending after a five-year run with significant results relevant to Colorado鈥檚 growing energy industry.

You may have noticed that the air quality in parts of Colorado has been worse than usual for the past few days. Wildfires burning across the U.S. (although notably not in Colorado) have caused smokey skies of late. This far-flung smoke highlights how pollution in one area isn鈥檛 limited to...

Humans spend about 90 percent of our lives inside, so it鈥檚 time we analyzed what we鈥檙e breathing while we鈥檙e there. 鈥淭here has been a huge gap between the research done indoors and out,鈥� said Marina Vance, a professor in the mechanical engineering department. 鈥淲hen you think of the news and...

Wyoming and Colorado are in the top ten natural gas producing states. But in those states 鈥� and across the country 鈥� a lot of that gas is escaping straight into the air. Scientists are now working to come up with a better way to track those leaks down. In...

Marina Vance HOMEChem field experiment seeks to understand how daily activities impact the home environment In the United States, as well as in most of the developed world, people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors. In homes, workplaces, schools and every indoor environment, we are impacted by the...

Study indicates challenges of meeting ozone goals After decades of progress in cleaning up air quality, U.S. improvements for two key air pollutants have slowed significantly in recent years, new research concludes. The unexpected finding indicates that it may be more difficult than previously realized for the nation to achieve...

Congratulations to mechanical engineering assistant professor Marina Vance for being honored with an Outstanding Young Alumni by her alma mater, Virginia Tech. The VA Tech Academy of Distinguished Alumni recognizes alumni of the Charles E. Via, Jr. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for their accomplishments and commitment to the...
