Measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using passive (PAS) and active air samplers (AAS), formation potential of ozone (O₃) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA), human health risk assessment

Biosketch

My research topic is mainly related to observations of atmospheric VOCs in urban and industrial areas using PAS and AAS. The monitoring is to identify spatial-temporal variations and major sources, assess human health risks, and estimate the formation potential of O₃ and SOA.

Now I am working on studies associated with VOCs based on the data from canisters, sensors, and PTR-MS in the Collett’s group.
