Howard-Reed Receives EPAAward

Cynthia Howard-Reed of the Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group in the Building Environment Division received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2004 Scientific and Technological Achievement Award in the category of monitoring and measurement methods. This award was issued for her role in the research publication, Continuous Monitoring of Ultrafine, Fine, and Coarse Particles in a Residence for 18 Months in 1999- 2000. This work was recognized for its contributions to the development of particle measurement methods and the production of a high-quality database of indoor and outdoor particle levels. The subject study was conducted in an occupied townhouse and included measurements of particles from 10 nm to 20 µm in diameter roughly every 5 minutes, as well as ancillary measurements of building air change rates, wind velocity, air temperature, and relative humidity. Prior to this work, no long-term study over such a wide range of particle diameter was available, and the data in this publication are expected to be used to study particle fate and exposure for years to come.
