- Indoor Air Quality in Schools
Evidence has mounted regarding the contributions of poor indoor air quality and inadequate classroom ventilation toward student illnesses, absenteeism, and decreases in academic performance. A new EPA Science to Achieve Results grant will focus on high schools, a relatively under-studied school environment with numerous data gaps.
Read more about the project in the blog Indoor Air Quality in Schools – Concerns and Need for Low-Cost Solutions.
- Hydraulic Fracturing Drinking Water Study
The EPA released a draft assessment of the potential impacts to drinking water resources from hydraulic fracturing for public comment and peer review. Read the*full press release here.

- Hurry: The Visualizing Nutrients Challenge Ends June 8th
Nutrient pollution is one the most expensive problems associated with aquatic environments. EPA, with U.S. Geological Survey and Blue Legacy International, has launched a competition looking for talented designers, coders, data scientists, sensor experts, and anyone interested in complex problems to analyze and organize existing nitrogen and phosphorus water pollution data.
Learn more about the challenge at InnoCentive.
