Six-day Travel in Bangladesh

From September 18 to 24, He Kun visited the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh at the invitation of Professor Ahsan Habib, as part of the Research Project of the Alliance of International Scientific Organization (ANSO) – Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Air Toxicants (MORATOXA). The purpose of this visit was to repair the medium flow sampler placed at the University of Dhaka, transfer and bring back 55 sets of atmospheric samples, 42 sets of dust and 24 sets of human-haired samples collected, clean the sampling container and refill with clean sampling material, discuss existing research progress and further sampling plans, and promote substantive exchanges and cooperation between the two sides. During the visit, Kun had the opportunity to experience local traditions and cuisine. Kun also met with Professor Ahsan Habib’s research group and other colleagues, gaining valuable insights and knowledge.

NAEO Revisited in 2023

On September 27, a group of us (Shizhen, Jianchu and Weiru) visited to Ningbo Atmospheric Environment Observatory (NAEO), which has been set up for 15 years by Pro. Zhang Yanlin.  Engineer Li also came with us to maintain the samplers of NAEO as well as called on Granpa Shen. Granpa Shen has dedicated more than 15 years to collect air samples for us.  He treated us with 100% homeproduced fruits and vegetable ! 🙂

 

Sadly, it’s not the type of fried rice-flour noodles (炒米粉) that Miss Shizhen keeps thinking about. TAT
