Presidential Young Investigator Award: Indoor Air Pollutant Transport, Dispersion and Interactions With Surfaces

这是一个奖项，旨在支持由这位总统青年调查员发起的研究，他是根据计划公告NSF 89-58中包含的条件提名的。这位研究人员的主要研究目标是了解控制室内空气污染物浓度和命运的过程。他计划致力于开发评估和控制影响室内空气质量的物理过程所需的基本信息。他计划将实验室系统的确定性数学模型作为解释框架，将实验研究的结果与实际的室内环境联系起来。这一研究结果有望用于工艺和系统的工程设计，以减少空气污染物对乘员的不利影响，并为室内空气污染物的去除提供依据。他计划调查的室内污染物包括氡、氡衰变产物和空气中的颗粒物。

This is an award to provide support for research to be initiated by this Presidential Young Investigator who was nominated under conditions contained in the Program Announcement NSF 89-58. The broad goals of this investigator's research are concerned with understanding the processes that govern the concentrations and fate of indoor air pollutants. He plans to work on development of fundamental information that is needed to assess and control the physical processes that affect the quality of indoor air. He plans to apply deterministic mathematical modeling of laboratory systems as an interpretive framework in relating the results of experimental studies to actual indoor environments. Results of this research are likely to be utilized in engineering design of processes and systems to reduce the unfavorable impact of air pollutants on occupants and provide the basis for removal of contaminants from indoor air. Examples of indoor pollutants he plans to investigate include radon, radon decay products and airborne particles.
