Critical Review
Emerging investigator series: surfactants, films, and coatings on atmospheric aerosol particles: a review
Surfactants alter the physical and chemical properties of atmospheric aerosol particles.
Paper
Oxidative potential of fine particulate matter emitted from traditional and improved biomass cookstoves
Reduced PM2.5 emissions from improved cookstoves do not necessarily equate to reduced exposure to toxic PM2.5, due to changes in PM2.5 chemical composition and toxic potency.
Paper
Emerging investigator series: aqueous oxidation of isoprene-derived organic aerosol species as a source of atmospheric formic and acetic acids
Aqueous photochemistry of isoprene derivatives helps reconcile model budgets of organic aerosol mass and gas-phase formic and acetic acids.
Paper
Emerging investigator series: a machine learning approach to quantify the impact of meteorology on tropospheric ozone in the inland southern California
The role of meteorology in facilitating the formation and accumulation of ground-level ozone is of great theoretical and practical interest, especially due to emissions shifts and changing global climate.
Paper
Aqueous-phase photochemical oxidation of water-soluble brown carbon aerosols arising from solid biomass fuel burning
The fate of BrC in aqueous systems such as clouds and fog droplets does not depend on solid biomass types.
Paper
Assessment of long tubing in measuring atmospheric trace gases: applications on tall towers
Negligible losses were observed for many atmospheric trace species after traversing the PFA Teflon tubing that was hundreds of meters in length.
Paper
Quantifying the impact of relative humidity on human exposure to gas phase squalene ozonolysis products
Models were developed to treat Criegee chemistry and estimate gas-phase squalene ozonolysis products under different conditions. Relative humidity can significantly impact human exposure to these products.
Paper
Chemical characterization of prescribed burn emissions from a mixed forest in Northern Michigan
Gases and particles emitted from a mixed forest prescribed burn in Michigan were characterized by a mobile laboratory.
Paper
Emerging investigator series: deposited particles and human lung lining fluid are dynamic, chemically-complex reservoirs leading to thirdhand smoke emissions and exposure
Tobacco combustion products in deposited particles and bodily reservoirs enable persistent thirdhand smoke contamination and transport.
Paper
Emerging investigator series: the red sky: investigating the hurricane Ophelia Saharan dust and biomass burning aerosol event
On 16th October 2017 ex-hurricane Ophelia passed over the UK, bringing with it a unique mixture of particulates which caused the sky to turn a dramatic red colour.
Paper
Emerging Investigator Series: COVID-19 lockdown effects on aerosol particle size distributions in northern Italy
Impact of lockdown measures on the air pollutants and particle number size distribution.
