Two NIST Chemists Honored for Gas Standards to Improve Air Quality | NIST

Two NIST chemists, Franklin R. Guenther and William D. Dorko, have been honored with the Edward Bennett Rosa Award for their work on gas standards. Their development of the NIST Traceable Reference Materials Program for gas mixtures has been crucial in implementing the requirements of the Clean Air Act of 1990. The program oversees the production and analysis of reference gas standards, primarily used for stack emission testing programs. NIST, a non-regulatory agency of the Commerce Department’s Technology Administration, promotes U.S. economic growth by working with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards.
