Charles Stanier, associate professor of chemical and biochemical engineering and associate faculty research engineering at IIHR--

with collaborators in the region, has co-authored a white paper discussing the opportunities and benefits of an intensive study of air quality over and around Lake Michigan.

This is in part triggered by the more stringent focus on ozone air pollution, which has been a problem in coastal areas of the Great Lakes and Eastern U.S. for decades.
