Synopsis of Research Interests

Partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds

Secondary organic aerosol formation

Heterogeneous organic aerosol productions through aerosol-phase reactions

Nanotechnology for aerosol exposure studies

Health effects of atmospheric particles.

SOA health effects:

Our study showed that exposure of in vitro respiratory cells to SOA created from ozonolysis of terpenes resulted in increases in IL-8 in cell cultures.

Health effects of Indoor air pollution:

environmental tobacco smoke interaction with ozone, exposure of in vitro respiratory cells. Exposure of isogenic chicken DT40 cells deficient in a single DNA damage response gene to environmental tobacco smoke using nanoparticle technology

Optical Properties of atmospheric particulate matter

Air pollution modeling
