Welcome to the Laboratory for Air Quality Research at Colorado State University.\u00a0 The lab is directed by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Shantanu Jathar<\/a><\/span>. It is located at the Powerhouse Energy Campus in Fort Collins, Colorado.\u00a0<\/p>

Between 2015 and 2021, LAQR has received nearly $2 million in primary research funding through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Energy Office of Science, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Science Foundation (NSF), and the state of Colorado, and an additional $2 million as a collaborating group through EPA, NSF, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. We have published more than 50 publications in journals including Science, Nature, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Air pollution, coupled with climate change, is one of the most important environmental problems of the 21st<\/sup> century. The scientific advances at LAQR aim to improve urban, regional, and global estimates of the air pollution burden, which will aid in the design and implementation of technology and policy interventions that mitigate the adverse impacts of air pollutants on air quality, climate, and public health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
