“While they are not as accurate as regulatory monitors, [community monitors] are able to provide real-time information to communities in the places they live and breathe." @ProfPeteD ow.ly/taiW50VYoEM @MarshaKarp1

In ‘Cancer Alley,’ a Battle Over Who Gets to Measure Air Pollution (Published 2025)

Community groups are fighting an unusual Louisiana law that restricts how they use data from air-quality monitors, saying it violates free speech.

Excited to share our work on aerosol pH, led by grad stdnt J. Campbell. In short, temp largely modulates aerosol pH, which, in turn, drives aerosol chemistry. This collaborative effort involves R. Weber @LAPI_epfl @ShipleyRobinson @ProfPeteD @ArcticKerri science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Enhanced aqueous formation and neutralization of fine atmospheric particles driven by extreme cold

Aqueous aerosol formation is believed to occur in clouds/fogs; measurements expand possible regions of pH-dependent formation.

Today in the New York Times!😯@ProfPeteD and @keeve_nachman's MOM+POP ("Mobile Observatory Measuring Particles and Other Pollutants") van sniffs out elevated ozone and formaldehyde on the streets of NYC. “If you want a chemical reaction to go faster, you add heat.”

The heat affecting many parts of the U.S. this week. What does that mean for air pollution? nyti.ms/4c8F0jC

A Ride in a Chemical-Sniffing Van Shows How Heat Amps Up Pollution (Published 2024)

In heat waves, chemicals like formaldehyde and ozone can form more readily in the air, according to researchers driving mobile labs in New York City this week.

Hi y’all - riding again this year to support Alzheimer’s research. ALZ is a devastating disease and every $ donated here goes towards research. I’m planning to ride for 100 miles again this year, May the 4th - be with me. act.alz.org/site/TR;jsession… – at Baltimore, MD

Ride to End ALZ

Introducing an Alzheimer's Association event inspired by science and driven by determination. Join us and experience what makes the Ride to End ALZ so much more than a ride.
