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.

 

Yi Xin and colleagues visit the group

On September 12-13, Yi Xin (怡欣)came back with her colleagues in China Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS) visited our group.   We had a meeting on environmental radiocarbon and 14C-AMS facility. Sanyuan (三元)gave a talk introducing the technical settlement of 14C-AMS, and Gan complementarily gave a brief talk on the applications of 14C. A new MICADAS 14C facility is to be setup in CAMS, and the two bodies are to collaborate in the future, to which Yi Xin  will be the strong tie.   It is really nice to see Yi Xin back in the group.
