🚨 New publication alert! Just published in ACS ES&T Air, this study presents the first-ever global dataset of chlorinated paraffins in ambient air, providing critical insights into their global distribution. Check it out!🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

In this ACS ES&T Air study, @TrentUniversity @environmentca stresses how atmospheric chemical aging modifies the oxidative burden of urban #AirPollutants, resulting in a seasonal cycle with a potential effect on #PopulationHealth. @TJHarner

Happy to see our paper on future and cross-directions of the @GAPSNetwork on the front cover of @ESAdvances @ECCCSciTech @UNEP . Take a look!

Congrats! @EgideKALISA for leading our proof-of-concept paper on tracking #eDNA (#bioaerosols, #bacteria, #fungi, #aerobiome) in air using
@GAPSNetworkPOPs type #PUFdisk passive air samplers. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
New! Our first global-scale measurements of trace metals in air using #PUFdisk passive air samplers (#PUFPAS) under the @GAPSNetworkPOPs. More to come!
Our new paper reporting trace metals in ambient air across the @GAPSNetworkPOPs has been published in @EnvSciTech. Low-cost passive sampling can aid in identifying changes to metal concentrations in air. @ECCCSciTech @environmentca pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Our new paper using open-source land-use data to quantify and rank the remoteness of air monitoring sites from human infrastructure, applied to @GAPSNetworkPOPs sites. Can link results from independent studies and for other chemical classes @ecccSciTech doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c0…

Replying to @AcademicTox
@AcademicTox @ASunyerCaldu The UFOs are up🛸!! A calibration study to assess the comparability of co-deployed three different passive air sampling media and to characterise the new silicone based passive air sampler as a part of ALARM project.
Great to meet Assistant Deputy Minister @MarcDIorio
this morning with @AmanSainee to discuss @GAPSNetworkPOPs and our strategies to address #chemicalmixtures in air and other cross-cutting issues such as #health #biodiversity #climate #waste #vulnerablepopulations @ECCCSciTech

The ALARM project aims to maps global exposure to airborne mobile organic contaminants by deploying silicone foam passive air samplers worldwide. According to @AcademicTox, the early warning system will "empower sustainable chemical policy"

Today’s office view @WhistlerBlckcmb @eccc_news’s alpine research station changing @GAPSNetworkPOPs filters.
Checking on the #pufdisk passive air samplers after last night's snow - "they take a licking but keep on ticking". 😃 @GAPSNetworkPOPs #ATOUSAstudy

Excited to share our new publication on the global atmospheric levels and trends of PFAS and Siloxanes from a single sampling network @GAPSNetworkPOPs

Excited to be part of this new project exploring the chemical mixture in air, including @GAPSNetworkPOPs sampling stations.
New nontarget passive air sampling station for @AcesSthlmUni in collaboration with SLB-Analys. Getting ready for the ALARM project with @TJHarner and Amandeep Saini at @environmentca, funded by @FormasForsk.
Can you guess which island of Stockholm we're on?

**Reminder - SETAC Dublin 2023 abstract deadline is next week! Have a look at session 3.24 #POPs and Emerging Pollutants
@SETAC_world @SETAC_ChemIG setac.confex.com/setac/europ…
Hope you can join us at SETAC Dublin and consider submitting an abstract to our session 3.24 on POPs and Emerging Pollutants - deadline is Nov. 30! setac.confex.com/setac/europ…
Using @TelosAir aerosol small sensors to confirm that @GAPSNetworkPOPs #PUFdisk passive air samplers capture #PM effectively even on calm days.
Answer is yes!

New paper!
We provide a global dataset for the state of organic tire-derived contamination in urban centres by analyzing archived samples from the Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) Network.
Check out the (open access) work here: doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.202…

Have your read our review on the implications of tire-wear for air pollution? It's open access, so there's no excuse doi.org/10.1016/j.apr.2022.1…
