Center for Air Toxic Metals® (CATM®)

University of North Dakota - Main Campus

The mission of CATM is to provide a national coordinated and practically oriented multidisciplinary research, development, and training program on the prevention, transformation, behavior, and control of potentially toxic metal emissions from energy-producing and incineration systems and on the prevention and minimization of the effect of these metals on the environment through partnerships developed with industry, research institutions, and government. The goal of CATM is to develop key information on air toxic metal compounds such that pollution prevention strategies can be developed and implemented to reduce air toxic metals emissions. Specific objectives include: (1) elucidate air toxic transformation mechanisms and pathways in energy-producing and incenerating systems, (2) develop technologies to control metals behavior and emissions, (3) develop environmentally sound methods to utilize and dispose of residuals, (4) develop methods to sample and analyze air toxics, (5) develop predictive tools and databases, (6) develop partnerships with industry, (7) develop environmental awareness and pollution prevention programs through education, and (8) commercialize results and technologies that can be used to reduce overall trace element emissions. CATM is organized into five integrated program areas; (1) air toxi metals transformation mechanisms, (2) Analytical methods development, (3) emission control technology evaluation and enhancement, (4) modeling and database development, (5) technology commercialization and education.
