Wang Xiao publishes in ES&T

Wang Xiao’s 王晓 paper titled Decadal Shifts in PAH Sources and Health Risks in China under Clean Air Actions has been accepted for publication in Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T). The study integrates radiocarbon analysis of black carbon with positive matrix factorization to clarify long-term source-specific trends of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) across China. The findings reveal that while clean air actions significantly reduced coal combustion emissions, traffic-related PAHs have become an increasing contributor to toxicity and health risks, highlighting the need for further energy transition and vehicle electrification. Congratulations to Wang Xiao and the team on this important achievement!

Field Sampling at Industrial Sites

During September 18–19, several members of the Air-Omics group carried out a field sampling campaign at two industrial emission sites, focusing mainly on electronic circuit source (珠海紫翔&安捷利). The team systematically collected a wide range of environmental samples, including emission air, wastewater, soil, and tree bark, in order to investigate the release pathways and environmental impacts of industrial pollutants. This campaign also represents a key research task under their CAS pilot project, aiming to provide essential data support for understanding industrial sources of emerging contaminants and their environmental behaviors.

Participation in the 3rd Symposium on New Pollutant Control in Shanghai

During September 13–14, Shizhen and Shaojun attended the 3rd Symposium on New Pollutant Control in Shanghai. Shizhen delivered two invited talks, one on high-volatile persistent organic pollutants (HV-POPs) and another on micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and tire wear particles (TWPs) in the atmosphere. Shaojun presented his research on the secondary formation of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in PM2.5. During the conference, they also met Lin Tian, Zhao Zhen, and many other alumni, which further enriched the academic and personal exchanges.
