Filtration reduces PM in wildfire smoke, air pollution, & airborne infectious disease (RSV, influenza, COVID-19, and norovirus). It should be a no-brainer to filter air before you breathe it. Air pollution is the 2nd most deadly health risk worldwide. healthdata.org/research-anal…

Air pollution

Air pollution affects millions of people worldwide. Both household and outdoor air pollution pose severe threats related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancers, and other conditions.

I have created a step-by-step guide to building a #CorsiRosenthalBox. Thank you @JimRosenthal4 & @CorsIAQ for approving it. Displaying it in waiting rooms, offices, schools, and libraries will help more people stay safe this season. Please DM me if you need a PDF or another size.

Did you spot our electric van around this week? 👀🚐 We’re cruising Southern San Diego with state-of-the-art air sampling equipment with our partners from UT Austin. Our goal is to map smells and pollution, giving us a clear picture of what’s in the air you breathe. +

Exciting alert!! My first co-authorship from grad school has been published!! Check out our new article in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: “Effects of Wind Speed on Size-Dependent Morphology and Composition of Sea Spray Aerosols” pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Effects of Wind Speed on Size-Dependent Morphology and Composition of Sea Spray Aerosols

Abstract. Variable wind speeds over the ocean can have a significant impact on the formation mechanism and physical-chemical properties of sea spray aeroso

New paper from our group! 🎉 Secondary marine aerosols (SMA) have been shown to significantly contribute to the marine atmosphere by affecting the formation and lifespan of clouds. Prior research has focused on single VOC studies, leading to a gap in understanding SMA. +

In this work we look at how mixtures of marine relevant gases impact SMA formation by analyzing the aerosol yields and composition. We found that mixtures of VOCs impacted the production of sulfate and methanesulfonic acid, two species that play a key role in aerosol formation...

A study from Matthew Pendergraft, @kprather88 @UCSanDiego & colleagues shows sea spray can transport sewage-contaminated waters inland, exposing those living kilometers from the beach. Comments by Crystal Weagle @DalhousieU. Story by @caffeinatedkrys eos.org/articles/spring-and-…

Spring and Sewage Are in the Air Near San Diego - Eos

Sea spray can transport sewage-contaminated waters inland, potentially exposing those living kilometers from the beach.
