Rochester PM Center
University of Rochester
The US Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the University of Rochester a STAR ("Science To Achieve Results") Center grant (R827354). It provides support for one of five such centers established to study the role of airborne particulate matter, especially ultrafine particles, in causing health problems. A multidisciplinary team of experienced investigators are testing the hypothesis that ultrafine particles occurring in the urban atmosphere cause adverse health effects.
