An innovative internship program in pollution prevention (P2) has been developed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). This program contains educational, research and extension components and has been successful in the first year of its four-year project period. The Partners in Pollution Prevention program is funded by the US EPA, Region VII (Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri). Matching funds are provided by the University of Nebraska. Support for the program is provided by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality. The three main goals of this program are to provide: 1) an intensive educational experience in pollution prevention for engineering students, 2) technical assistance to small businesses and industries in Nebraska, and 3) research on complex pollution prevention problems.
