USA: Center for Air Toxic Metal (CATM) at the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC)
Description
The Center for Air Toxic Metals® (CATM®) at the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) was established in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Environmental Engineering and Technology Demonstration to focus national research efforts on trace element emissions, which are a matter of worldwide concern as well as a regulatory issue in the United States. CATM provides a nationally coordinated and practically oriented multidisciplinary research, development, and training program on the prevention, transformation, behavior, and control of potentially toxic trace element emissions from energy-producing and incinerating systems and on the prevention and minimization of the effects of these trace elements on the environment through partnerships developed with industry, research organizations, and the government.
