Another year, another AAAR! Great science, great people, and some excellent adventures tagging along with the Kroll Group!

Re-Examining Chemical Conditions of Past Chamber Studies of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation The simulation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in 3D models generally relies on measurements made in laboratory chamber studies. However, many of the laboratory studies that underpin the aerosol pa...

Our paper examining the chemical conditions of past chamber studies is out! This work explores assumptions made when creating SOA parametrizations based on laboratory data, and can hopefully point to ways of improving model representation of SOA.

Dollar Lake Fire from the top of Rendezvous Mountain. Some back-of-envelope estimates based on the phone camera field of view suggest that the plume/cloud top is approaching 30,000’

Mitigation of Indoor Ozone and Secondary Products from 222 nm Germicidal Ultraviolet Light Using Commercial Air Cleaners Far ultraviolet-C (UVC) light, especially germicidal UV light at 222 nm (GUV222), has received considerable attention for its potential to deactivate airborne pathogens indoors and prevent the spread ...

Nadia’s paper exploring technologies that can be used to minimize harmful byproducts of 222 nm germicidal light is now published!
