EPA awards grant to WKU team’s radon mitigation project

 

A team of students in WKU’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has been awarded a $24,971 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a research project on radon mitigation in homes.

WKU’s project, An experimental study to develop affordable non-invasive radon mitigation system for single-family dwellings, was funded as part the People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) Program. EPA awarded $399,837 in funding to 16 student teams for their research and innovative solutions to address environmental and public health challenges.

Members of the student team are Construction Management graduates Cameron Blevins of Columbia, Tennessee; Alex Mason of Madison, Indiana; Chris Wilkinson of Stanford; and Daris Payne of Bowling Green; and Peter Hall, a junior Architectural Sciences major from Jeffersontown. Principal investigators are Dr. Bashar Haddad, Assistant Professor of Construction Management, and Dr. O.E. Mansour, Assistant Professor of Architectural Sciences.

This study is part of a larger research project that investigates enhancing indoor air quality in areas with poor air quality. Radon exposure is considered the No. 1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
