Buqing and Yifan’s paper accepted by JHM

On September 28, Buqing and Yifan’s mew paper  entitled ‘ Elevated Wet Deposition of Micro- and Nano-plastics in Remote Mountains Driven by Free Tropospheric Transport‘ was accepted for publication in JHM. It has been a strong team work led by Shizhen. Bolong collected the samples; Yifan did the sample analysis and primary data curation, while  Jianchu and He Kun helped with analytic practice; Buqing managed to write the manuscript, with Li Jing and Lingxiao helped with drawings and back trajectory analysis, etc. Congratulations!

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.

Prof. Kevin Jones visit GIG

From September 15 to 17, Professor Kevin Jones visited our group. On September 16, he delivered an insightful lecture on passive sampling of organic chemicals across different environmental matrices, with particular emphasis on the application of DGT for detecting these compounds in water. Although Professor Jones is a familiar guest to us, his presentations are always refreshing, and we consistently gain new knowledge from his insights. His visit not only provided a valuable learning experience but also offered fresh perspectives for advancing our research on environmental monitoring.
