Big congratulations to Emma McLay Yao Yan Huang, zoë as well as our collaborators in Marseille for this really nice study! Partitioning of organics to water surfaces seems semi-quantitatively understandable! (But not so much to organic-coated water)

We all need healthy indoor air. Ventilation & filtration are effective, if the HVAC is designed, operated & maintained properly. Unfortunately, often this is not the case- see excellent piece by Jesse Smith

Last Friday, our 2024 URO/GOH event was underway 🤩

From faculty research presentations 🗣 to poster sessions 📌 & lab tours 🧪, students got a chance to learn more about what chemistry at York looks like👀⚗️

Stay tuned for more events this winter semester!

This Is YorkU - Chemistry in action at today's YorkU - Science Fall Campus Day to explore classroom and experiential education with so many science enthusiasts! Special thanks to the Chemistry Society executive and all our future students for their enthusiasm and curiosity!!

This was a great experiential education opportunity for YorkU - Science students in YorkU - Chemistry to see where their advanced analytical (and other chemistry) training intersects with industry needs/expectations! Thanks to Dalton Pharma for being such enthusiastic hosts!!

EPA tests on #corsirosenthalbox es. 97% reduction of airborne virus in 30 minutes. 3,000 ft3 chamber. Compare this with bipolar ionization. Their tests were done in a chamber the size of a shoebox. Billions of dollars sold to schools in 2020-2022. What a waste!

1/ The #CorsiRosenthalBox has been proven over & over & over again to be highly effective at removing a wide range of aerosol particles from indoor air. UL & now UConn fire department have tested under worst-case or extreme conditions & found them to be safe from overheating.

The #IndoorChem community gathered National Academy of Sciences in honorable company for the Sloan Foundation CIE Capstone Conference!

Nitrogen, an abundant element in our atmosphere, helps make soils fertile and is in our DNA. But when converted at an industrial scale, excess nitrogen is generated, threatening our environment and health. Join the solution and #BeatNitrogenPollution : unep.org/interactives/b…

Exciting news the TEMPO mission has officially begun! We've started gathering daytime, hourly scans of North America's atmosphere. These scans monitor ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and other pollutants in the air, revolutionizing our understanding of #AirQuality .
