MADISON, Wis. — Solving the issue of mold in homes and other buildings is one reason a large federal grant has been awarded to a national research lab based in Madison.
Nearly $50 million in federal money is slated for the nation’s leading wood research institute — the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory near the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison.
The money will be used to help expand lab research into mold and other issues related to wood, including turning forest waste into fuel.
