Abstract
As air quality continues to be a pressing issue in urban areas, the study of organic aerosols has emerged as crucial for understanding air pollution in China. Improved understanding of the chemical and optical nature of organic aerosol is the key for constraining the impacts of organic aerosol on air quality, climate and human health, and for developing effective mitigation measures. This talk will explore the fascinating chemistry and optical characteristics of organic aerosols, which now represent a significant portion of fine particulate matter in urban areas. Leveraging state-of-the-art analytical approaches and algorithms, this presentation will provide a molecular-level understanding of organic aerosol, and will delve into the origins, formation processes, and atmospheric transformations of these particles. The speaker will reveal how the chemical makeup of organic aerosols influences their behavior and interaction with radiation, impacting both climate and public health. Join this lecture for an engaging discussion on how these tiny particles play a big role in shaping the environment and what this means for effective air quality management and mitigation strategies.
