Shiraiwa-led Study Featured in Multiple News Articles

Findings from a recent article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by AirUCI faculty member Manabu Shiraiwa and colleagues have been featured in multiple news articles.  As quoted in one article, Shiraiwa says about his research, "Our modeling found that surfaces inside homes have a much greater size to absorb and hold chemicals than previously realized.  We can thank of these surfaces as massive chemical sponges that soak up VOCs...This discovery has significant implications for human health.  It means people can be exposed to harmful chemicals long after their introduction into indoor spaces, and compounds can later be released back into the air or transferred to humans through direct contact with contaminated surfaces."  Read the articles here, here, and here.
