Research
Matt is currently trying to describe the effects of soil vapor intrusion as a mode of contaminant transport into the indoor air environment. Specifically, he is attempting to describe this exposure route via field sample data analysis at a site in North Texas that rests atop groundwater contaminated with trichloroethylene. Additionally, he has been developing a screening model to be used with soil vapor data near the substructure of a dwelling with a crawlspace to quantify the concentrations of volatile organics in the indoor air.
Recreational Research
Concepts of sustainable living in the urban environment such
as grey water recycling, composting human waste, rainwater
harvesting and permaculture. International development.
