Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies @ CMU

It’s a big morning for @CAPS_CMU @CMUEngineering at @AmericanAerosol #AAAR2022 - Mingyi Wang for Friedlander and Neil Donahue Sinclair.

Check out this cool work by @LHabib95 and @NeilDonahue published in #ESATMOS investigating the potential for diffusion limitations when mixing particle populations representative of biomass burning and aged SOA! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Air pollutant sources can have major differences over very small scales, and cooking may be an important source of urban ultrafine particles. More details in our paper: link.springer.com/article/10.100… @subu_caps @CAPS_CMU @CMU_Mech

At #ICAS2021, students will have a rare opportunity to learn from international experts on how to assess #AirPollution scientifically. Register today! Aug 26: bit.ly/3A7NmED Aug 27: bit.ly/3rTQUaP #CleanAir4HealthyLiving #SolutionsforPollution #CSTEP

We're doing our best

I am SUPER excited for our national estimates of national UFP concentrations to be published in @EnvSciTech. As always, awesome work by Provat Saha @ALRLab @CAPS_CMU @CMU_Mech @MarshallJulian bit.ly/3xkAusX

The fire smoke event last week gave us a day with PM2.5 nearly 6 times higher than normal. That and more in a special RAMP report here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Free RAMP sensors will measure carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, fine particulate matter, and other pollutants in Hampton Township through a CMU collaboration: bit.ly/3etwJL7 @albertpresto @CAPS_CMU @subu_caps #AirQuality

Excited about the future! cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2021/07/0…

.@CMU_Mech and @CAPS_CMU’s Albert Presto spoke at an Allegheny County Council Committee forum about information on how independent, low-cost monitoring can reveal insights over more fine-grained neighborhood-level geographies about air quality. pghworks.com/statement-on-t…

Allen Robinson weighs in on #methane leaks and super emitters in this @PittsburghPG article: bit.ly/3wewWry @CAPS_CMU #AirQuality #cmuengineering

#GettingToKnowOurFaculty Dr. Neil Donahue is a Thomas Lord Professor in @CMU_ChemE and the Director of CMU’s Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research. His research focuses on envirochemical engineering, energy and energy science. cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/directory/bios…

#Wildfires, clouds, and climate change: engineering.cmu.edu/news-events/ne… @CAPS_CMU #cmuengineering @CmuScience

Why should Pennsylvania act now to close its ‘low producing well’ loophole to fight #methane emissions? MechE Dept. Head Allen Robinson explains: bit.ly/3zSq4mZ @EnvDefenseFund #airquality @CAPS_CMU @penncapitalstar

Dear colleagues, we are excited to announce that we are currently working on a new special issue: "Brown Carbon and its Atmospheric Chemical Evolution".@Atmosphere_MDPI @PNNLab @RJLeeGroup We look forward to your submissions. mdpi.com/journal/atmosp…

Wildfires cause destruction on the ground... and in the sky. Watch a short animation: youtu.be/BYK8aUzaXuk @CAPS_CMU @airquality #wildfires

How important is night-time chemistry of biomass burning emissions in an urban environment? Find out in our recent work, using a dual chamber system. @CAPS_CMU @cstacc @pyrotrach @EUROCHAMP2020

Just came out! Simulation of the evolution of #biomassburning organic #aerosol with different volatility basis set schemes in PMCAMx-SRv1.0 gmd.copernicus.org/articles/14/20… @FORCeS_H2020 @FORTH_ITE @spyros_pandis @CAPS_CMU

Some CAPS Alums worth watching:

Just came out! Organic #aerosol volatility & viscosity in the North China Plain. Collaboration with Chinese Academy of Sciences, @CAPS_CMU, Georgia Tech and others. Kinetically limited gas–particle partitioning may need to be considered. acp.copernicus.org/articles/21/54…
