CLYR.ai, an environmental health technology company, has secured Phase II SBIR grant funding from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to co-develop S3E (Simulation for Environmental Exposure Education) with dfusion, Inc. The game-based platform aims to boost environmental health literacy among middle school students by focusing on indoor air quality.

CLYR will develop the core environmental simulation engine for a new educational platform funded by the NIEHS. The project, a partnership with dfusion, will use the grant money to create the S3E (Simulation for Environmental Exposure Education) platform.

CLYR will create the real-time pollutant exposure simulations that power the platform, helping students understand how daily activities and home environments affect health and what actions can reduce risks. The project aligns with CLYR's mission to translate complex science into actionable knowledge, according to CEO Dr. Neil Klepeis..

CLYR will build the real-time computer simulations of pollutant exposure and associated health risks that will power the game. These simulations will allow students to explore how daily activities and home environments impact their health and learn scientific methods to reduce or eliminate potential hazards.

"S3E directly aligns with our core mission of translating complex environmental science into actionable knowledge," says Dr. Neil Klepeis, co-founder and CEO of CLYR. "By empowering students with these tools, we are investing in a future generation that is more aware and capable of creating healthier living spaces for everyone."

The initiative builds on CLYR's expertise in quantitative modeling and advanced AI systems for consumer and industrial applications. The company helps households and businesses with tools to minimize health risks from environmental exposures.

The S3E project expands CLYR's expertise in quantitative modeling and health risk assessment for environmental hazards. The simulation technologies being developed are related to the advanced AI systems CLYR is building for its consumer and industrial products.
