Renovation of Environmental Engineering and Science Research Laboratories

在过去的10-15年里，环境工程和科学的问题变得更广泛、更复杂、更复杂。除了水和废水处理问题外，还关注地下水污染、沉积物污染、污染预防和再循环、有毒和有害物质的处理、饮用水质量、污泥回收和处置、营养物质去除和空气质量。因此，环境工程问题是多媒体的，需要了解污染物的行为及其在空气、土壤和水中的相互作用。华盛顿大学有一流的研究和研究培训项目，专注于这些环境工程问题。该奖项将支持其环境工程实验室的翻新，该实验室面积约为9500平方英尺。改造将重新组织实验室区域，为有毒化合物和反应研究提供更好的通风，改善供暖和空调系统，改善工作台和橱柜，并为分析设备提供适当的区域。这项改造工程将影响约15名教员和100名研究生。最后，这个更现代化的设施将增加参与生物转化和生物修复研究的研究人员的能力和能力，这些研究对理解环境转化是不可或缺的。

Stensel The problems in environmental engineering and science have become broader, more complex and more sophisticated over the past 10-15 years. Water and waste water treatment issues have been joined by concerns about ground water contamination, sediment contamination, pollution prevention and recycle, handling of toxic and hazardous substances, drinking water quality, sludge reclamation and disposal, nutrient removal and air quality. Thus, environmental engineering problems are multi media requiring knowledge of the behavior of contaminants and their interaction in air, soil and water. The University of Washington has first class research and research training programs that focus on these environmental engineering issues. This award will support the renovation of their environmental engineering laboratories which is an area of about 9500 square feet. The renovation will reorganize lab areas, provide improved ventilation for toxic compounds and reaction studies, improve the heating and air conditioning systems, improve bench tops and cabinets, and provide proper areas for analytical equipment. This renovation project will impact about 15 faculty and 100 graduate students. Finally, this more modern facility will add capability and capacity to researchers involved in biotransformation and bioremediation research, research integral to understanding environmental transformations.
