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.

 

Shizhen Back in Britain

During July 19–29, Shizhen revisited the UK for the first time in nine years since her graduation. She spent about one week at the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, to carry out a joint study on TOMPs air sampling, where she met with Prof. Kevin Jones and Prof. Andy Sweetman. Later, she visited Prof. Richard Thompson at the University of Plymouth, recognized as the “father of microplastics,” to discuss collaborative research on plastic pollution. This memorable trip not only brought back fond memories of her student days but also reinforced long-term collaborations and opened new opportunities for future research.

Back to the Days When We Were Young

The Goldschmidt 2025

On July 4-13, Shizhen and Gan attended the Goldschmidt 2025 Conference in Prague of Czech. Gan chaired a session and gave a talk on BC radiocarbon based on many of our studies. Shizhen delivered orally our recent advance in tire-wear derived chemicals in another session. There were 4 other SKLAET members on the Conference. Zhang Yanlin (章炎麟) cochaired with Gan on the session. It is a nice conference standing the top one in the research areas of geochemistry!
