Assessment of SofiBBC project implementation plans

On July 30, at Xijiao Hotel  of Beijing, the consulting meeting was organized to assess the implementation plans of the three projects of our newly approved  black carbon (BC) research programNew Technologies for Multi-factor Integrated Sensing and Precise Source Apportionment of Black Carbon Aerosols in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region (京津冀黑碳气溶胶多要素一体化感知与精准溯源新技术, SofiBBC), which is a component of the National Major Science and Technology Program for Comprehensive Environmental Management in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region (京津冀环境综合治理国家科技重大专项).  This was to prepare for the final expert assessment of the implementation plan of SofiBBC, to  be  held in Beijing on August 14. We invited professors Pan Xiaole of IGPCAS, Gao Jian of CRAES, Xue Likun of Shandong-U and Liu Yue of China  National Institute of Metrology (NIM) to comment on the implementation plans of three projects of SofiBBC. After the meeting, we paid a short visit to CRAES evaluating the atmospheric observation station on the campus. It was a fruitful meeting, and we have decided to collect PM2.5 samples on the rooftop of the CRAES station for SofiBBC program in the coming one and a half year.

SofiBBC: is the short name of the BTH black carbon program New Technologies for Multi-factor Integrated Sensing and Precise Source Apportionment of Black Carbon Aerosols in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region京津冀黑碳气溶胶多要素一体化感知与精准溯源新技术 (Contract No. 2026ZD1216000) . Here we use it to represent Source Finding of BTH BC, whereas in Greek Sofia can literally translate to  ‘wisdom’, ‘skill’, and ‘insight’.

Zhuhai annual workshop

On December 10-12, in Zhuhai珠海, many of us attended the annual bilateral workshop of  Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory on Environmental Processes and Pollution Control, which is mainly between SKLAET and FCE of Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPolyU).  I gave an opening talk with a title of Old Path White Clouds(故道白云), for a retrospective view of the mass spectrometry (MS)’s iteration and evolution in SKLOG-SKLAET with emphasis on the MS emplacement and performance in our group.  Guangcai钟广财 presented new progress ion the application of BPCA to studying BC’s role in aerosol light absorption properties and toxicity. Jiang Longfei江龙飞 talked on the microbial processes involved in the degradation of OPEs in soil. Li Jing李静 gave a nice talk on plant 14C monitoring and modelling in Shenzhen, and was awarded the Best Oral Presentation; Shaojun吕少君 introduced her extraordinary results of aqueous formation of hydrophilic organophosphorus esters (OPEs); Buqing and Jianchu 马建初 both presented their posters, and Jianchu’s poster on micro and nano-PVC plastics as vectors of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) in the atmosphere was awarded the Best Poster Presentation. Shizhen赵时真 and Buqing徐步青 attended the workshop and contributed in their discussion sessions.  Buqing步青 reported to the workshop on the discussion results  by on behalf of the PDRAs group. Luo Chunling 罗春玲chaired a session; and Jibin 李继兵and Longfei江龙飞 helped in looking after the organizations of the workshop. We met many friends from both Hong Kong and Sun-Yat-San University, including professors Li Xiangdong李向东 and Zou Shichun邹世春, Haoyu蒋昊余, Tan Yujun谭羽俊 etc. Nice food and nice hotel, a great and memorable annual gathering!

The Dioxin2025

ON October 31 to December 8, several of us (Shizhen, Jun, Gan, Jabir, Habib) attended the 45th International Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants, also known as Dioxin2025, in Atalaya, Turkey. Shizhen, Gan and Jabir gave oral presentations and each chaired a session; Professor Habib gave an oral presentation and raised lots of questions in different sessions; Jun manned a nice poster designed by 子洋. We met many friends and former group members, including  Paramita Chakraborty, Tom Harner, Perihan, Roland Weber, 刘国瑞, 袁博, 肖航 etc. Similar to Shizhen,  Perihan  and Tom Harner did their PhD in Lancaster with Kevin Jones; therefore they are 师姐/师兄. Paromita did her PhD  in our group from 2006-2009. This time she came with two PhD students of her. Akriti Ashesh is a PhD student from Bihar University of India, and her supervisor is Linthoi (centred in the picture) who worked in our lab for her PhD in around 2009. Amandeep works with Tom Harner in Environment Canada responsible for the GAPS network; and she is originally from Punjab of India, sharing the same language and culture with Jabir who is also from Punjab but on the Pakistan side. We stayed in a nice hotel and enjoyed the 7-days symposium. We also took opportunity to visit Istanbul . Strong exotic experience and nice science and social events!
