RIT to host Pollution Prevention Institute

February

The Rochester Institute of Technology will host a new center for designing and testing environmentally-friendly manufacturing methods, the AP reports.

The center will also provide technical support for businesses to help them reduce their pollution.

RIT was chosen by a technical review panel through the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which received proposals from universities throughout New York, the AP said.

RIT is looking to create 16 laboratories across the state through partnerships with Clarkson University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and SUNY Buffalo.

The state budgeted $2 million for the endeavor last year, the AP said.
