🚨 New publication alert! Just published in ACS ES&T Air, this study presents the first-ever global dataset of chlorinated paraffins in ambient air, providing critical insights into their global distribution. Check it out!🔗 https://t.co/TuTAiOhee6

In this ACS ES&T Air study, @TrentUniversity @environmentca stresses how atmospheric chemical aging modifies the oxidative burden of urban #AirPollutants, resulting in a seasonal cycle with a potential effect on #PopulationHealth. @TJHarner

Happy to see our paper on future and cross-directions of the @GAPSNetwork on the front cover of @ESAdvances @ECCCSciTech @UNEP . Take a look!

Congrats! @EgideKALISA for leading our proof-of-concept paper on tracking #eDNA (#bioaerosols, #bacteria, #fungi, #aerobiome) in air using
@GAPSNetworkPOPs type #PUFdisk passive air samplers. https://t.co/zlilKZAw2W

[Tom Harner @TJHarner]

New! Our first global-scale measurements of trace metals in air using #PUFdisk passive air samplers (#PUFPAS) under the @GAPSNetworkPOPs. More to come!

[Jacob Mastin @JacobMastin]

Our new paper reporting trace metals in ambient air across the @GAPSNetworkPOPs has been published in @EnvSciTech. Low-cost passive sampling can aid in identifying changes to metal concentrations in air. @ECCCSciTech @environmentca https://t.co/C5YWXHkrR7

Our new paper using open-source land-use data to quantify and rank the remoteness of air monitoring sites from human infrastructure, applied to @GAPSNetworkPOPs sites. Can link results from independent studies and for other chemical classes @ecccSciTech https://t.co/r1rElrwtG8

@EgideKALISA @ScienceTechRw @Rukundojp01 Congrats Egide! Well deserved.

@AcademicTox @ASunyerCaldu The UFOs are up🛸!! A calibration study to assess the comparability of co-deployed three different passive air sampling media and to characterise the new silicone based passive air sampler as a part of ALARM project.

[Tom Harner @TJHarner]

Great to meet Assistant Deputy Minister @MarcDIorio
this morning with @AmanSainee to discuss @GAPSNetworkPOPs and our strategies to address #chemicalmixtures in air and other cross-cutting issues such as #health #biodiversity #climate #waste #vulnerablepopulations @ECCCSciTech

[Department of Environmental Science at Sthlm Uni @AcesSthlmUni]

The ALARM project aims to maps global exposure to airborne mobile organic contaminants by deploying silicone foam passive air samplers worldwide. According to @AcademicTox, the early warning system will "empower sustainable chemical policy"

@nadineborduas @WhistlerBlckcmb @eccc_news @GAPSNetworkPOPs Thanks Nadine for the beautiful pic and for supporting @GAPSNetworkPOPs

[Tom Harner @TJHarner]

Checking on the #pufdisk passive air samplers after last night's snow - "they take a licking but keep on ticking". 😃 @GAPSNetworkPOPs #ATOUSAstudy

[Aman Saini @AmanSainee]

Excited to share our new publication on the global atmospheric levels and trends of PFAS and Siloxanes from a single sampling network @GAPSNetworkPOPs

[Tom Harner @TJHarner]

Excited to be part of this new project exploring the chemical mixture in air, including @GAPSNetworkPOPs sampling stations.

[Jon Martin @AcademicTox]

New nontarget passive air sampling station for @AcesSthlmUni in collaboration with SLB-Analys. Getting ready for the ALARM project with @TJHarner and Amandeep Saini at @environmentca, funded by @FormasForsk.

Can you guess which island of Stockholm we're on?

Using @TelosAir aerosol small sensors to confirm that @GAPSNetworkPOPs #PUFdisk passive air samplers capture #PM effectively even on calm days.
Answer is yes!
