正文(英文) | Contact Information: Environmental News (Lenexa, Kan., Feb. 19, 2019) - Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted $25,000 to a Missouri University of Science and Technology student team for their project to develop a portable, low-cost biofilter that removes freshwater, harmful algal bloom-derived cyanotoxins and heavy metal ions from water using polymeric nanoparticles. The grant award is part of approximately $447,000 in funding for 18 teams of undergraduate and graduate students across the country through the People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Student Design Competition Program. Each team will receive a Phase I grant of up to $25,000 to develop their sustainable designs that will help solve important environmental and public health challenges. “The innovative ideas that these P3 teams are bringing out of the classroom and into the real world will help solve some of our nation’s most pressing environmental challenges,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “From creating a simple at-home test for consumers to detect lead in tap water to designing a system to remove toxic chemicals from landfill gas, the fresh thinking behind these projects will result in tangible products that will help Americans for generations to come.” These teams will showcase their projects at EPA’s National Student Design Competition & Expo on June 29-30 at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference Exitin National Harbor, Maryland. Following the Expo, the P3 teams may compete for Phase II awards of up to $100,000 to further implement their designs. Other grantees include student teams from the following universities:
