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 #OpenAccess: go.acs.org/aIo

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…

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" Full story 👇 bit.ly/3HHpE8q

Checking on the #pufdisk passive air samplers after last night's snow - "they take a licking but keep on ticking". 😃 @GAPSNetworkPOPs #ATOUSAstudy

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? @PapazianStefano

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…
