Aerosol Emissions and Air Quality

The aerosol emissions and air quality research group of the Aerosol Physics Laboratory focuses on urban atmospheric aerosols and particle emissions from anthropogenic sources, such as engines, vehicles and power plants. By detailed characterization of aerosols, the research aims to understand primary and secondary particle formation, to find new methods to mitigate the emissions, and to understand how the anthropogenic aerosol emissions affect air quality, human health and climate.
