Our latest paper with @adam_milsom94 @adsquires @I22_DLS @CLF_STFC just out in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: Aerosol pollutants from cooking may last longer in the atmosphere – new study https://t.co/k7Q1eanXvW

📰| Air fryers produce a tiny fraction of the indoor air pollution emitted by other cooking methods including pan and deep frying, a new study has shown.

🍾Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and online for Professor Christian Pfrangs Inaugural Lecture.

[Christian Pfrang🇺🇦 @chpfrang]

Please join if you are free next week (note the slightly opened door in the background of my picture ensuring good indoor air quality through ventilation #WorldVentil8Day in the same week...)!

@ukhadds @DiamondLightSou @njt3303 @LES_UniBham Yes, it was! Top left (hint of) image of levitated droplet; top right product formation followed in-situ by PTR-MS; bottom left SAXS (only 0.5 s acquisition, but clear self-assembly...) and bottom right WAXS...

[Christian Pfrang🇺🇦 @chpfrang]

Fun experiment this week @DiamondLightSou at I22 with @njt3303 and Dr Andy Smith levitating droplets while probing the gas-phase with @LES_UniBham's PTR-Qi-ToF-MS during ozonolysis

[Christian Pfrang🇺🇦 @chpfrang]

Great conference @The_RHS excellently co-organised by @cheerscientist at @RHSWisley learning about urban greening and considering the role plants can play for air pollution mitigation

[College of Life and Environmental Sciences @LES_UniBham]

📰Urgent action needed to understand links between air pollution and mental health.

NEW research from @UniofOxford

with @chpfrang

[Adam squires @adsquires]

We brought @ukhadds to his first neutron trip at the Zoom beamline at @isisneutronmuon to try levitating surfactant droplets with (twitterless) Jack Macklin’s levitation device, in front of a neutron beam. Here’s how he found it.

[@GuildfordLivingLab @GuildfordLL]

Air pollution impacts mental health, but the mechanisms aren’t clear. New research calls for better methods to study bioaerosols & their effects, pushing for interdisciplinary collaboration & standardized measurements to guide future studies and policies: https://t.co/wHiiBeWVFF

[Christian Pfrang🇺🇦 @chpfrang]

Very exciting visit to @BoulbyLab for @STFC_Matters Science Board (Facilities & Laboratories) last week 1100 m underground: great to see thriving research across a much broader range than anticipated incl. astrobiology and geology work from @unibirmingham

[Christian Pfrang🇺🇦 @chpfrang]
