Dr. Ave Arellano Jr., a professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona, his research team, and three peer institutions have received a $4.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund research on how pollution and wildfire smoke are tracked, forecasted and communicated.

The negative health impacts from contamination by so-called "forever chemicals" in drinking water costs the contiguous U.S. at least $8 billion a year in social costs, a University of Arizona-led study has found.
