Purdue helps Indiana companies with pollution dilemma

on without the use of costly emission-control equipment.

"New technology testing and emission reduction verification are vital parts of the consortium's efforts. Technological innovation offers quality enhancement, productivity increases and cost savings, in addition to emission reductions," Noonan says. Research into new technology will improve Indiana's economic competitiveness, he adds.

Styrene, a suspected carcinogen, has been used for decades to manufacture everything from drinking cups to lightweight auto and boat parts. It has been classified by the EPA as a volatile organic compound, meaning it tends to combine with other chemicals to form entirely new compounds. One result is the creation of ozone, a molecule that contains three atoms of oxygen instead of the environmentally friendly two-atom form of the gas. Ozone is a pollutant that is unhealthy to breathe and that may harm vegetation and wildlife.

It should not be confused with naturally occurring atmospheric ozone, contained in the stratosphere, which acts as a filter for harmful ultraviolet radiation.
