This ES&T Letters study by @joshapte of @BerkeleyCee @UCBerkeley @UCBerkeleySPH quantifies the monitoring gaps in the #SLAMS network’s ability to detect concentration hotspots under the new #PM2.5 standard. #NAAQS #OpenAccess: go.acs.org/bmd

New paper out today! We have a great new PM2.5 air pollution standard. But our US EPA monitoring network has crucial gaps. It may miss many places that exceed the new standard. More monitoring can help! w/ @YuzhouYWang @MarshallJulian pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

U.S. Ambient Air Monitoring Network Has Inadequate Coverage under New PM2.5 Standard

Abstract. The Clean Air Act (CAA) in the United States relies heavily on regulatory monitoring networks, yet monitoring sites are sparsely located, especia

(4) Hyperlocal inverse modeling. We are combining hyperlocal measurements and satellite data with inverse models to better understand the emissions sources that impact air quality in overburdened communities.

I am more interested in finding creative, motivated and highly skilled candidates than in finding a perfect fit with a funded project. Please apply and tell us about your own interests! Reach out to me with questions. Initial review begins Nov 15. aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04…

(3) Air pollution in South Asia. In collaboration with universities and think tanks in India, we are using sensor networks, advanced instruments, and reduced complexity models to identify scalable approaches to addressing air pollution.

(1) Mobile monitoring. We have several large mobile monitoring campaigns starting in late 2024, including CARB's exciting Statewide Mobile Monitoring Initiative to map air pollution in disadvantaged communities. And we have a snazzy new UC Berkeley mobile air quality lab.

(2) Development and application of reduced complexity air quality models. We are developing modeling tools to identify solutions to air pollution in the most overburdened communities in the US and worldwide.

We have several new projects starting up, listed below. This is a broad search. Apply if you are interested in the kind of work we do! We have funding to support people with backgrounds in measurement, modeling, remote sensing, and other methods.

Excited to share my latest work in ES&T Letters @EnvSciTech! We find that US air pollution monitoring network lacks adequate coverage, leaving millions of people unprotected under the stricter 2024 PM2.5 standard. With @joshapte and @MarshallJulian pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Campus researchers have discovered consistent racial disparities in exposure to PM2.5 — fine particulate matter in the air — from cars, trucks and other vehicles, despite an average reduction in exposure to vehicle air pollution in California dailycal.org/news/campus/res…

California has dramatically improved its air quality, but racial disparities persist, study finds

A group of researchers measured exposure to vehicle air pollution in California and examined which populations were most exposed from 2000 to 2019, in a collaboration between UC Berkeley, University

Hear me out: maybe we don't do hydrogen passenger trains? "Because of delivery bottlenecks, the hydrogen train in the German state of Lower Saxony cannot operate as planned. Instead, five diesel trains currently service the line, while the hydrogen trains are shorter than usual to conserve fuel." electrive.com/2024/09/11/ger…

German hydrogen train network runs dry - electrive.com

Germany has the first fleet of hydrogen-powered trains in the world. Too bad the operator is missing one essential thing to keep them running - hydrogen fuel.

Out today in @ScienceAdvances! How have 20 years of cleaner cars and trucks in California impacted PM2.5 air pollution exposure disparities? We found good news, not-good news, and some surprises. With @LibbyKoolik, @MarshallJulian and @OEHHA. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… 1/

PM2.5 exposure disparities persist despite strict vehicle emissions controls in California

Decades of California’s strict exhaust emissions controls reduced PM2.5 exposure but not relative racial-ethnic disparity.

California Slashed Harmful Vehicle Emissions, but People of Color and Overburdened Communities...

New research shows a nearly threefold reduction in exposure to particulate pollution, but Californians living in overburdened communities remain disproportionately exposed.

Californians Are Breathing Far Less Vehicle Pollution, but Disparities Are Widening | KQED

Air pollution from fine particulate matter from vehicles is down by 65% since 2000, but Latino and Black Californians still breathe more than their fair share.
