The Security, Energy, and Environment (SEE) department is subcontracting with Carnow, Conibear, and Associates (CCA) on a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The project objective is to reduce the risk of lead poisoning in children by developing an inexpensive, commercially viable treatment which permanently reduces soluable (bioavailable) lead levels in soil.
CCA will lead with the bench-scale testing of the treatment and NORC will assess stakeholder lead-in-soil awareness, interest in lead remediation, cost, and perceived barriers to use. The primary outcome of the project will be the selection of the best combination of an effective in situ treatment product with potential user interest in using the treatment.
