I spent the summer studying indoor air quality. I focused on studying the resuspension rates of house dust to help access the health effects of these peak exposure periods to hazardous particulate matter.

 |
Researched a new technique of MVOC sampling to develop profiles of mold contaminated buildings. Created profiles of common mold contamination in order to establish a faster way to detect its presence through the use of MVOCs.

Evaluation of the Large Particle Inlet (LPI) in the Clarkson University low speed Wind Tunnel. I generated mono dispersed micro particulates that were filtered through passive impactors, moudi impactors, and the LPI.

Evaluating the effectiveness on indoor air quality (IAQ) of an integrated energy recovery ventilator (IERV) equipped with an air conditioner, heater, and HEPA filter. Also, taking measurements to determine if improved IAQ has positive effects on lung function, sleeping, and overall well-being in children with asthma ages 5 to 14.

I identified what the VOC's were released by air fresheners, as well as try to find compounds that were good candidates for the formation of secondary products

| Madeline Turnquist |
 |
My research entailed studying the effects of roads on populations of painted and snapping turtles. I focused on finding the numeric risk roads impose on the survival and longevity of local turtle populations

| Benjamin Durfee |
 |
I reasearched the effects of mixing intensity on sand seperation in anaerobic digesters of dairy manure. Pretty much I got up to my elbows in cow manure and smelled like spring flowers every day!

| Lauren Gorgol |
 |
I am measuring variations of dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) in the
Raquette River of Potsdam, NY and correlating the data to solar
radiation measurements. The research I have done shows a positive
linear relationship between DGM and solar radiation.

Data was collected over a two day period using the Lavinia, a 25ft Clarkson University research boat. I used two different types fluorometers to determine community composition and health, and various laboratory analysis to look at nutrients and abundance.
