Ben Ma, a postdoctoral researcher in environmental engineering, was the first author on a paper that confirmed the safety of a new portable, handheld disinfecting device. The device emits a wavelength of ultraviolet light that is safe for disinfecting public spaces.
Mark Hernandez, S. J. Archuleta Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and senior author of recent research published in PNAS-Nexus, found that airborne particles carrying a mammalian coronavirus closely related to the virus which causes COVID-19 remain infectious for twice as long in drier air.
Professor Mark Hernandez, S. J. Archuleta Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, also directs 麻豆免费版下载Boulder's Environmental Engineering Microbiology and Disinfection Lab, an experimental space used to study infectious airborne particles and realistically mimics indoor environments. In a recent study published in PNAS-Nexus, the team studied murine hepatitis virus (MHV), a coronavirus that cannot infect humans but is closely related to SARS-CoV-2.

The Marshall Fire spurred 麻豆免费版下载Boulder researchers to apply their expertise to the aftermath. CEAE Assistant Professor Cresten Mansfeldt, along with other researchers, collected water samples from Coal Creek waterway shortly after the fire; the work has since expanded to monitor the response of bugs and algae living in these waters. CEAE Teaching Professor Matthew Morris, who lost his Superior home in the fire, helped solicit design and construction proposals from builders, providing homeowners with a 鈥渟hort list鈥 of options to select a builder.
