Air Quality Program
CE3 collaborates extensively with the faculty and staff based at the Russ College of Engineering and Technology’s Center for Air Quality. Working with universities, businesses and industries in the Ohio River Valley, the Center fosters interdisciplinary applied research and education in the air quality arena, with a focus on issues facing the Midwest region. The Center for Air Quality has been involved with emission inventory and air quality analysis for every major metropolitan area in the State of Ohio including mobile emissions modeling, and processing and evaluation of area and point sources.
The Center’s talented team regularly contributes to CE3 Air Program projects because of its expertise in air quality modeling, ambient monitoring, data management/analysis, GIS applications, health risk assessments and emissions inventories.

Example Projects
All ProjectsU.S. EPA Mercury Monitoring
The Center was recently awarded a highly-competitive U.S. EPA mercury monitoring project through the National Atmospheric Deposition Program. The Center’s researchers, two full-time research staff and graduate students, are currently engaged in studying the fate of mercury emissions from local power plants, as well as worldwide sources, to understand the economic and environmental value of implementing control systems on local power plants.

Carbon Footprint Analysis (Cleveland)
The Center received funding from the EPA to support a carbon footprint analysis for the city of Cleveland and has worked in northeast Ohio (with Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency), central Ohio (with Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission), and southwestern Ohio (with Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission) on a broad range of air quality issues.
Research on the Reuse of CO2 Using Microalgae
The Ohio Coal Research Center and the Biofuels Lab, partnering with the Center for Air Quality's Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment (ISEE), has engaged in more than a decade of research on the reuse of CO2 using microalgae. With more than $2 million in funding from the Department of Energy, researchers have created bioreactor technologies to enhance the growth of microalgae from coal flue gas. Researchers are also developing technologies to convert the energy within the algae into biofuels, such as biodiesel and syngas.
