new paper We tracked C isotopes in Phoenix aerosol across 4 seasons & 6 size fractions. Winter = ¹³C-depleted, combustion-dominated, CPI~1. Spring/summer/fall = enriched δ¹³C + biogenic signals. Coarse dust carries a carbonate fingerprint year-round. https://t.co/Tj1oU0jP6s

New paper out by @ThuongCAO96 from our collaboration with @FerranPichel showing that bacteria actively metabolize and degrade formaldehyde in fogs.
Nishat recently presented her work on ozone impact on pollen with beautiful electron micrographs at the Arizona Imaging & Microanalysis Society (AIMS) meeting.
Research led by @UArizona is studying whether billions of tons of copper mining waste could yield critical minerals.
The Regents’ Grant aims to develop a cost-effective extraction method – supporting industry and cutting environmental risk.
The research is done in collaboration with @ASU, @NAU and the Arizona State Mine Inspector: https://t.co/6Pugu27oaC
new paper out: Vehicular emissions dominate PAHs in Lagos air.
PM2.5-bound PAHs exceed levels in many developed cities, with cancer risks 2–6x above US EPA benchmarks.

New paper, led by our @NAU colleagues, from our @AZRegents -funded #ValleyFever project: a targeted DNA enrichment approach applied to air samples shows a clear genetic link between aerosol DNA and a fatal primate case of #Coccidioidomycosis in Arizona.

I was honored to be invited on Horizon Arizona @arizonapbs to discuss new research showing how climate change is worsening #Microplastics pollution and how microplastics may also impact climate systems. Check it out:

Dan: Tue at 4:30 in GH24A: Discoveries and Emerging Topics in the Atmospheric Biome
Amelia: Wed at 4:35 in A34D: The Living Atmosphere: Advances in Monitoring, Modeling, and Sampling of Airborne Bioaerosols
Trinity: Friday morning A51S: Emerging Air Pollutants: Emissions, Chem.
Amelia's first paper is out. It shows a clear link between the crustal component of PM10 and fungal presence in the air.

#DYK Critical minerals and metals can be found in the waste from copper mining.
With funding from a Regents' Grant, @ASU, @NAU and @UArizona researchers are working to extract these minerals so they can be used for our growing technology needs: https://t.co/tkmYYTOqbW
