Weiru’s six-day travel in Malaysia
From August 3 to 8, Wang Weiru visited the University of Malaya per invitation by Dr. Bong Chui Wei（黄翠薇）. This mobility is an element of the Research Project of the Alliance of International Scientific Organization (ANSO) – Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Air Toxicants (MORATOXA). The main goal of the visit was to promote substantial cooperation between the two sides, as well as to bring the air samples, dust samples and hair samples back to Guangzhou the base of the ANSO project. Dr. Bong and her students fully supported Weiru in the collection of the hair samples. They also demonstrated the high quality atmospheric sampling and preservation in Kuala Lumpur which are dedicated to MORATOXA. At last, a total of 21 air samples (including one field blank), 36 hair samples and 35 house dust samples were retrieved and brought back. The samples are well stored in the fridge now.

During the visit, Weiru was also entertained by Dr. Bong’s students to taste the local food, learn about the local languages and visit the zoo.
It was an efficient and enjoyable visit. We all look forward to further progress on this project soon!
POPs Forum 2024 in Guiyang
On May 17-19,Professor Gan Zhang and Professor Shizhen Zhao, along with three members of the Air-Omics group: Lele, Yuwei and Weiru attended the POPs Forum 2024 held in Guiyang. During the conference, Professors Tian Lin , Yue Xu and Yan Wang were also gethered with us. Shizhen delivered an excellent presentation on tire ware particles. Moreover, Lele, Yuwei, and Weiru each delivered oral presentations on their respective research topics, showcasing their innovative work and promote our research group. It was a moment of pride for us when Weiru was honored with the Outstanding Graduate Student Presentation Award. Congratulations！
Following the successful conclusion of the forum, we explored the city, immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Guiyang’s culture and cuisine. The highlight of this adventure was the city’s signature potato delicacies.
The trip not only served as an opportunity for academic engagement but also as a chance to experience the local way of life in Guiyang. The memories and experiences gained from this event will undoubtedly enrich the our academic journey and inspire further endeavors in our research pursuits.
