Using technology developed by a UA engineer, startup Clean Earth Tech plans to provide a novel solution to a common problem in arid climates: air pollution caused by dry air and blowing dust.
Mechanical engineering student Ruby O'Brien-Metzger is part of a team of scientists researching what soil types and wind conditions cause blowing dust.
With $1.7 million in DOD funding, UA engineers and scientists are developing game-changing chemical reaction processes and biodegradation methods to quickly and easily decontaminate soil and water.
