Trainees and affiliates of the National Science Foundation’s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program in Indoor Environmental Science and Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have embarked on a novel study of “zero energy air purification” (ZEAP) materials to reduce human exposure to ozone. In this image second-year trainee Brent Stephens is applying a clay-based wall covering to gypsum wallboard for full-scale testing in an NSF-funded test house (UTest House).
