Research
The field of environmental chemistry focuses on understanding the chemical processes that occur in the environment, such as the sources, reactions, transport, and fate of chemical species in air, soil, and water; and their impacts. Environmental chemistry is highly interdisciplinary in nature, applying concepts in analytical, physical, organic, inorganic, and biological chemistry, as well as toxicology in order to understand and solve environmental issues. Our research explores the chemistry involving atmospheric aerosols particles and the connections to climate and adverse human health outcomes. We do this by combining lab experiments with field measurements, as well as developing new analytical tools. Our current research focuses on addressing the following questions:
- What are the physiochemical properties and toxicity of aerosol particles (especially those from emerging sources)?
- Can chemical processes involving aerosol particles alter the physiochemical and toxicological properties?
- What are the impacts of historical air quality regulations or guidance on reducing the concentration of toxic species in aerosol particles?
