The Ozone Research Center (ORC - Prof. Panos G. Georgopoulos, Director and Prof. Sastry Isukapalli, Deputy Director) at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) was established in 1989 with base funding from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), as a Scientific Resource Center for the study of tropospheric ozone and other photochemical smog components such as fine particulate matter (PM); ozone and PM indeed constitute one of the most persistent and pervasive air pollution problems. Since its establishment the Center has evolved and attracted funding from various sources, to become today a special partnership of federal, state and private sector efforts aiming to understand this complex environmental problem.
