As we approach the opening of Halton Foundation's grant application period on July 1st, we're taking a moment to celebrate the achievements of our previous awardees. Last year, The University of Queensland was honored with a 3-year grant to pioneer research in air purification. Their focus? Developing a range of sorbent materials designed to cleanse indoor air of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). This research is crucial as it addresses the significant knowledge gap in mitigating SVOC exposure in indoor environments, despite recent progress in identifying these compounds.
