Visiting the Pearl River Council

2019-07-27 Gan Zhang

On July 26, a group of us, Jin Biao, Chen Wenwen, Liu Xin and I paid a half day visit to the Pearl River Council（珠江水利委员会）. We were welcome by Ms Zhang Guangyan who is the head of the research office of the Council. Liu Xin gave a talk on wastewater based epidemiology showing some nice result from Guangzhou, Sri Lanka and Iran. Chen Wenwen reported her recent advance of her work on N-nitrosamines in the Pearl River. Jin Biao interpreted the concept of persistent and mobile organic compounds (PMOCs) to the audience who are from various departments of the Council and its affiliated organizations. The talks were followed by a detailed discussion and exchange of information in particular future activities and reform in the Council including the establishment of a research institute on environment and the hand-over of groundwater management from geological survey to the Council. Lots of collaboration opportunities!

Nanjing summer school

2019-07-14 Gan Zhang

On July 12, I was invited to visit Nanjing University of Information Technology and give a class on a summer school (SS) organized by Zhang Yanlin (章炎麟). I gave a class entitled ‘POPs: from Chemistry to Geochemistry’. During the 2 days in NUIT I met professors Tao Shu (陶澍), Liu Congqiang (刘丛强), Li Fangbai（李芳柏) etc who were also ‘teacher’ of the SS. We drank a lot and the trip was enjoyable thanks to Yanlin and his colleagues’ good organization. I also had a view on Yanlin and Cao Fang (曹芳)’s aerosol isotope lab which is well equipped and managed. I came to know that there were more than 20 research students working in his group, while realizing that I am ‘grand-teacher’. Attended the SS are also students from 俊文’s group (JNU) and 瑞杰’s group (GXU).

Prof. Wanida Jinsart visited the group

2019-07-09 Zhao Shizhen

During 2^nd~7^th July, two visitors from Chulalongkorn University (Thailand), Prof. Wanida Jinsart and her Master student, Nareerat Punvitayakul (Neng), visited our group. This is the first time for them to visit our institution and they are very excited to walk through the SKLOG labs, with the companion of Dr. Zhong. Prof. Wanida also spoke highly on our well-equipped labs. During the visit, she gave a talk on “air pollution and health effects”, introducing the research progress on air quality and human health study in Thailand. Meanwhile, Jiaqi and Jiao Tang also presented their PhD projects to Prof. Wanida and had helpful discussions. In spare time, they also explored the city and visited some tourist sites, including Canton Tower, Chen Clan Temple and Beijing road.

Neng will stay with us for another month to analyze the PAHs and PCBs in passive air samples from Bangkok and Chiengmai, under the help of Lele. This is also the main part of her master thesis. We wish she had a great time here.
