Chuxin’s new paper ‘Polycyclic aromatics-derived benzene carboxylic acids (BPCAs) as a fast predictor of the genotoxicity of combustion particles‘ has been accepted for publication in STOTEN. This is his first paper to be published. Congratulations!
Tian Lele and Ma Jianchu awarded on GIG 15th Student Academic Forum
On November 5, 2024, two members of the Air-Omics squad, Tian Lele and Ma Jianchu, participated in the GIG 15th Graduate Academic Forum. Lele, who presented her report titled “Tire Wear Chemicals in the Urban Atmosphere: Significant Contributions of Tire Wear Particles to PM2.5” made a remarkable contribution to environmental science. Her research highlights the important role that tire wear particles play in urban air pollution, particularly in relation to PM2.5. Jianchu, with his presentation titled “Quantification of Micro- and Nanoplastics in Atmospheric Fine Particles by Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry with Chromatographic Peak Reconstruction” impressed the audience with his innovative approach to detecting micro and nano plastics in atmospheric particulate matter. His work addresses the growing environmental concern regarding plastic pollution and its impact on the atmosphere, contributing valuable insights into the quantification of micro and nano plastics in the air.
As a result of their hard work and dedication, Tian Lele was awarded the second prize, while Ma Jianchu earned the third prize at the forum. Congratulations!
Gan Delivered a Plenary Speech at BGC
On October 27, Gan delivered a plenary speech titled “Analysis and Application of Monomeric Organic Compound 14C” at the closing ceremony of the 10th Bio-Organic Geochemistry Conference, held by Ocean University of China (OUC) in Qingdao. Taking the opportunity, Gan and Shizhen visited Hu Limin’s group to discuss potential collaboration on Arctic samples. Gan also shared insights with the group’s students on conducting impactful research. Coinciding with OUC’s 100th anniversary, they enjoyed the lively celebratory atmosphere on campus.
