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.

Shizhen and Lele Attend Dioxin 2024 in Singapore
Between September 25th and October 5th, Shizhen, Lele, and Roland traveled to Singapore for Dioxin 2024 – 44th International Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Shizhen co-chaired a session on “Source, Transport, and Fate of POPs and Emerging Contaminants in Environments” with Prof. Stuart Harrad from the University of Birmingham, who was a post-doctoral researcher with Kevin. She delivered a talk titled “Tire Wear Chemicals in the Urban Atmosphere: Significant Contributions of Tire Wear Particles to PM2.5”. Lele presented on “Screening Organic Markers of Tire Wear Particles (TWPs) in Road Dust from China: Cross-validation by Py-GC/MS”.
They enjoyed a half-day city tour, taking in the beautiful views of Singapore, and later visited the National University of Singapore. The trip concluded with a great gathering with both old and new friends, making it a fantastic experience!
