19th POPs Forum in Chongqing

On May 17–18,  Gan, Shizhen, and several members of the Air-Omics group attended the 19th Forum on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), held in Chongqing.

Prof. Gan delivered two invited presentations in separate sessions. In the session on Environmental Behavior and Transformation of Organic Pollutants, chaired by Prof. Sun Hongwen, he presented on the observational study of the coupling between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), optical properties, and toxicity in atmospheric particles. In the session on Environmental Fate of Emerging Pollutants in the Atmosphere and Ocean, chaired by Shizhen, Prof. Gan gave a second talk on regional source–sink processes of emerging atmospheric pollutants.

Shizhen shared her latest work on the environmental fate of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in urban air. Lele presented on 6PPD-quinone as a robust marker for tire wear particles: validation and application using nationwide road air samples. Jianchu reported on pollution characteristics and sources of micro/nanoplastics and chlorinated paraffins in Chinese roadside airborne particles. Yifan discussed pollution characteristics, deposition fluxes, and influencing factors of micro/nanoplastics in urban snowfall. Meanwhile, Weiru presented a study on the potential sources and aquatic fate of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in typical Chinese salt lakes, in a session focused on short- and ultra-short-chain PFASs.

We were especially delighted to reconnect with several former group members, including Tian Lin, Zhen Zhao, and Ruijie Zhang—turning this academic forum into a warm reunion. For us, the  POPs Forum felt not only like a platform for scientific exchange but also a moment of shared memories and lasting bonds. We sincerely appreciated the heartfelt hospitality from Fengwen Wang and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Chongqing, both academically enriching and personally memorable.

Great Sucess of Fourth Year Fish Plan-A Growing Team

During Jan 17-18, the Air-Omics Squad (“爱米小分队”) successfully completed the 2024 Fish Plan (“咸鱼”计划), marking another key achievement in the squad’s ongoing research efforts. This year’s project brought together both experienced team members and fresh faces, including vistors Ruijie, Zixin, Tianshuo as well as  freshman participants Xiaosong, Zibing and Siqi. The team was divided into two groups, each wearing SpongeBob and Patrick aprons, respectively. Both teams were well-equipped with gloves, masks, and knives, and demonstrated exceptional enthusiasm and precision throughout the project. The Air Omics Squad showcased

excellent teamwork and execution during this fish plan. We look forward to even greater achievements in the future as we continue to tackle new challenges with enthusiasm and dedication!

Seminar of ANSO MORATOXA Projet for indoor dust collection strategy

On October 17th 2024, the online seminar of “Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Toxic Chemicals in the Air (MORATOXA)” program supported by ANSO was successfully held online. About eight experts and students attended this seminar, including Dr. Zhao Shizhen from GIGCAS, four students from GIGCAS (William, Kun, Yuwei and Weiru) Dr. Simion Bartilol from the University of Nairobi in Kenya, and two students from the University of Nairobi, to discuss on indoor dust collection strategies.  This seminar was chaired by Dr. Shizhen Zhao.

After Dr. Shizhen and Dr. Simion introducing the participants, they discussed about the difficulties in indoor dust sampling. In order to better support the sampling, Weiru shared the review of collected samples, the basic requirements of household dust sampling and three strategies of dust collection. After discussion, we clarified the follow-up sampling details, and determined the supplies we could provide. This online meeting will lead to further progress in the project.
