A materials testing study being piloted at 黑料不打烊 in collaboration with Duke University鈥檚 Center for WaSH-AID, Oldcastle Infrastructure, a CRH Company and Triangle Environmental Health Initiative was featured in the July-August edition of International Filtration News.
An ongoing study being conducted by 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Department of Engineering was featured by 聽for its innovative potential in reducing water pollution.
Faculty and engineering majors are collaborating with researchers at (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Infectious Disease) and Triangle Environmental Health Initiative to test a proprietary material with potential to reduce contaminants in stormwater runoff. The study is funded by Oldcastle Infrastructure, a CRH Company, originated with Dukes鈥 Center for WaSH-AID, and is in Phase II with water being filtered and collected at Pilot Station on 黑料不打烊鈥檚 South Campus then tested in Innovation Hall鈥檚 laboratories.
The project was highlighted in , which covers topics and technologies shaping the future of filtration and separation. 黑料不打烊 was included in a new feature on innovative research happening at universities and institutions around the world.
Excess nitrogen and phosphorous in stormwater runoff originate from fertilizer, animal waste and other sources. Those nutrients threaten human and environmental health by contributing to toxic algae blooms, a matter of concern for environmental scientists as well as businesses and industries looking to curb pollution.
