St. Lawrence County residents sought to participate in study of house dust

Posted

POTSDAM – Researchers at Clarkson University want to know what's hiding under beds, collecting on shelves and settling into corners of area homes.

They are looking for participants to take part in a settled house dust study on carpets and hard floors, and they're willing to pay to take dust samples from your home.

People eligible for the research should be 18 years or older.

The commitment is limited to a 10 to 15 minute questionnaire, the collection of vacuum bags or canisters, and permission for researchers to collect dust samples within your home.

Participants will be compensated $25 for their time; a social security number is required for processing.

The researchers state there are no expected physical, mental or emotional risks associated with this research.

Those interested may contact Lisa Bramwell (bramweld@clarkson.edu, 268-2001) or Yan Ma (yama@clarkson.edu, 267-6223) Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
