Our Research Selected as Cover Article in ES:P&I

Our collaborative study examining reactions between ozone and indoor cleaning agents has been published in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts and was selected as a cover article. The research reveals that these reactions produce secondary organic aerosols (SOA), highlighting potential indoor health risks that are often overlooked. As people spend roughly 90% of their time indoors, understanding these chemical processes is critical for assessing indoor air quality. This work underscores the importance of our research on indoor atmospheric chemistry and its direct relevance to public health.

New Publication in Science Advances

Our group’s study on the reactions of SOâ‚‚ with urban surfaces has been published in Science Advances. The research demonstrates that these interactions generate organic sulfur compounds, revealing a previously unrecognized pathway for sulfur compound formation in urban environments. This finding has significant implications for understanding urban air quality and the atmospheric sulfur cycle, particularly in densely populated cities where building surfaces provide extensive reactive surfaces.
