🚨 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/ac…

@TJHarner recently chaired the GMP experts meeting in Lima, Peru. Check out a recap of the meeting here: linkedin.com/posts/tom-harn…

Check out these views! #PUF disk sample change at our Kobbefjord, Greenland site. This is one of the several artic sites apart of the #GAPSNetwork aimed to address spatial gaps in coverage for the artic region.

Happy to see our paper on future and cross-directions of the @GAPSNetwork on the front cover of @ESAdvances @ECCCSciTech @UNEP . Take a look! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Polyurethane Foam Disk Passive Samplers: A simple and cost-effective approach to characterize long-term #bioaerosol diversity and compositional trends. @TJHarner @environmentca Read the cover story in ACS ES&T Air: go.acs.org/9lp

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/ac…

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/ac…

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/acsome…

Our new review paper on medium- and long-chain chlorinated paraffins in air! The first step towards their atmospheric monitoring. @ECCCSciTech @environmentca @GAPSNetworkPOPs sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Enjoying the fresh air at our @GAPSNetworkPOPs work planning meeting @ECCCSciTech

Legacy #POPs have been monitored under the #GAPSNetwork since 2005. Our paper on the temporal trends analysis is online now. @ECCCSciTech @POPsChemicals pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New! Postdoctoral Position(s) at ECCC in Toronto investigating chemical mixtures in air, passive sampling, health impacts, POPs/PACs. Application deadline March 8, 2021. Contact Tom.Harner@Canada.ca and Amandeep.Saini2@Canada.ca for more information. @GAPSNetwork @ECCCSciTech

Announcing #SETACEurope2021 session 3.13-POPs and emerging pollutants: Developments in sampling, targeted and #nontargeted analysis, modeling and reporting to support policy... Abstract submission open until Dec. 2. europe2021.setac.org

Dechlorane Plus (DP) is under discussion for listing under the Stockholm Convention on #POPs. The #GAPSNetwork just published a retrospective analysis for DP in air on a global scale. @ECCCSciTech @POPsChemicals @brsmeas pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Our first paper on nontargeted analysis applied to PUF disk passive air samplers. More to come! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just accepted in @EnvSciTech our first study on UV filters in urban air! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @ECCCSciTech

Another great presentation by Jasmin Schuster on PACs in Athabasca oils sands at #SETACToronto ...@ECCCSciTech @environmentca #albertaoilsands
