Tackling Phoenix’s ozone problem with natural emission research
Fulton Schools researchers are teaming with colleagues in ASU’s School of Molecular Sciences to study natural atmospheric emissions that are adding to harmful levels of the ozone pollution and giving the Phoenix metro area some of the unhealthiest air in the U.S. The project presents the challenge of controlling emissions from industry and motor vehicles, says Matthew Fraser, a professor in in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, who will co-lead the project. Students are getting research experience through the endeavor, including Gabrielle Cano, a student in the Fulton Schools’ civil, environmental and sustainable engineering doctoral program.
