Personal and In-Home Exposures to Airborne Organophosphate Pesticides among Rural Residents of California’s Central Valley Residents of agricultural communities may experience higher exposures to pesticides due to their proximity to agricultural operations. We applied a novel measurement approach, using Ultrasonic Persona...

Chemicals stick around indoors. Pesticides detected indoors two years after banned use.

Also this is a great graphical abstract. It conveys the issue, the sampling delay, and the big picture results clearly and in large fonts.

Thank you, Dustin!

I recently returned from AZ, where Coloradoans can go for a little Thanksgiving vacation to pretend not winter. Now there’s 6” of ❄️ in FoCo. It is a bit refreshing though. While it was snowing I went to the bakery & shoveled the walkway. I was ready to get. shit. done. Now I hide under a blanket.

Great video, Aaron! Whenever I make a product-related video, I think things like: “Wow, this takes a long-ass time!” and “I would make a terrible professional YouTuber!”

I 💙 working with the wonderful folks at Berkeley Air to advance programs that help households benefit from health-protective building electrification policies!

Every time I open the pdf of an instrument manual I wrote, Acrobat suggests that I let it generate an AI summary so that I don’t have to read this “long document” 😭

East by Meera Sodha is really good, but I wouldn’t describe the recipes as quick or easy. (I’m not particularly enthusiastic about cooking, though.) For quicker, easier recipes, I like Hungry Student Vegetarian.

So many things that air quality researchers think about when buying home decor and small appliances that might not be widely known…
Carpet/rugs: Nope!
Vacuum: Should have a HEPA filter on the exhaust (and use a bag, in my opinion).
Humidifier: Evaporative, not ultrasonic!

I’m really excited to see the first paper published from this study on personal exposures to PM among urban and rural Central Valley residents! Thanks to my colleagues in CSU and our Fresno-based colleagues for making this project an amazing success so far. More to come! #airquality #airpollution
