The Moon, Jupiter and Venus. Beautiful! And humbling.
Spent the day installing our Picarro formaldehyde instrument at the ASCENT site in Denver.

I have heard rumors that the European Union is planning to end the TROPOMI measurements onboard the Sentinel-5P satellite, now that Sentinel-5 is in orbit. If you are as concerned about this as I am, please consider sharing this post and/or signing this letter:

Congratulations to Olivia and the rest of the team. In her paper, Olivia studied the formation of SOA from limonene -one of the most common and reactive VOCs in indoor air- when 222-nm lamps are used for air disinfection. doi.org/10.1021/acsestair.4c00065
A new paper from Madison Rutherford studies SOA formation from the use of germicidal UV in an office. She also found that many VOCs increased in the office when the GUV lamps were on, apparently from surface reactions of ozone or direct irradiation by the lamps. doi.org/10.1021/acsestair.5c00475
I am delighted that Olivia Jenks' paper was chosen as one of the 2024 ACS Environmental Chemistry Division ES&T Air Best Paper Awards! doi.org/10.1021/acsestair.6c00057

Since the 1930s, germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) irradiation has been used indoors to prevent the transmission of airborne diseases, such as tuberculosis and measles. Recently, it has received renewed at...
The COVID-19 pandemic led to heightened interest in germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) lamps, which can deactivate bacteria and viruses in infectious aerosols. Recently, lamps using 222 nm (GUV222) light to...
This is quite extraordinary- scientists set a kind of trap for AI chat bots by inventing a fake disease. AI told people it was real and… the deliberately bogus preprints started being cited in peer reviewed literature 🫣
