The longest paper we have ever written was just published by Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts. 78 pages on what we have learned in 20 years of developing and applying passive air samplers for semivolatile organic chemicals.

Yang’s study investigating how elevation along the Eastern Tibetan Plateau (and therefore climate) influences the kinetics of NER formation of PAHs in soil has just been published in Environmental Pollution.

Natalie from the Bergquist group demonstrated that our passive air sampler is well suited to record the isotopic composition of gaseous elemental mercury in the atmosphere. Read about it in an ES&T paper.

Laika was the first dog in space. Koda is the first dog to have its biomagnification capability tested – twice! Read up about it in Yuhao’s paper that has just been accepted by ES&T.

Faqiang just returned from a week of deploying passive air samplers along the South shore of the Saint Lawrence Estuary.

In a study modelling aggregate human exposure to brominated flame retardants via both near- and far-field pathways, we managed to find a plausible explanation for faster declining levels in infants compared to adults. Indoor emissions and therefore near-field exposures decline faster than outdoor emissions and the resulting food contamination.

Using the opportunity of the SETAC meeting, former students and postdocs from the group (some coming from Norway, UK, China, and the US) met for a dinner at Pearl.
