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!

Microplastic symposium at Wuhan

On June 2-4, Shizhen, Jianchu, Jun and Gan attended the 5th Microplastic symposium held in Wuhan. Wu Chengxi (吴辰熙)who was a CUG-Wuhan PhD student worked with Professor Qi Shihua host the symposium. Both Jianchu and Gan gave talks, which came out to attract a lot of audience. In particular, Jianchu was surrounded by many girl students after his talk. We had time to meet many friends from the CUG-Wuhan for the dinner, after which, we, guided by Hairong, walked along the Yangtze River in the evening neon lights. Shizhen was exited to meet so many colleagues working in the area of microplastics. A nice meeting!

Pilot Study in Futian Mangrove National Nature Reserve

On Jan 8th, a group of us (Shizhen, Jianchu and Weiru) went to Futian mangrove national nature reserve for pilote study. It was the first time that they need to recognize species of trees for sampling. With the help of Dr. Gao from Guangdong Academy Of Forestry, they successfully collected young leaves and old leaves of kandelia candel (秋茄), aegiceras (桐花), bruguiera (木榄) and acanthus ilicifolius (老鼠簕), which are usually found in mangrove forests of coastal areas of Southeast Asia and southern China. Also, they collected one paired of surface water sample and sediment sample as well as two tree ring samples of kandelia cande.

Us in the marsh to collect tree ring samples.

The reason why mangrove is so called “red forest”: Tannins appear red when oxidized.

We were collecting the leaves.
