Clearing the Air: TxAIRE Institute Searches for Health Solutions
Spring 2008

Could the air you breathe in your own home make you sick? Could it cause allergies and even asthma in your children? Dr. Jan Sundell has made it his life’s work to find out.

And with the launch of UT Tyler’s new Texas Allergy, Indoor Environment and Energy Institute, he is continuing his research on the quality and impact of indoor air right here in Texas.

The Texas Emerging Technology Fund awarded UT Tyler with a $3.75 million grant to establish TxAIRE, the first collaborative research institute of its kind in the entire United States. Dr. Sundell, a research professor of engineering and a leading international researcher on indoor air, is executive director of TxAIRE. (more)
