🎉 We are proud to share that a study co-authored by Linn Persson, now a member of our alumni network, has been awarded the ACS Publications' Environmental Science & Technology Best Paper Award 2022. Published in February 2022, the study highlights the challenges our planet faces with the increasing prevalence of novel entities, including plastics. The authors meticulously analyse the consequences of surpassing the safe operating limits for these materials and call attention to the urgent need for global assessment and monitoring efforts.

💦 Clean water is essential for sustaining life and ecosystems on our planet. At Leibniz IPHT, we use light-based technologies to detect contaminants at the molecular level. In various research projects with partners from around the world, we're tackling the challenges of water pollution to ensure sustainable water resources. 🌍 Many thanks to all of our researchers for exploring innovative solutions to purify water using the power of light. 💧🔬 Thanks to our great partners #MIKA ThWIC Thüringer Wasser-Innovationscluster Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena IBAIA Horizon EU Project and all the other regional and international research projects. 🫱🏽🫲🏼💡 #WorldWaterDay #Photonics4Life #WeltWassertag #WaterAction

The Sky 🌤 over Los Angeles 🏙👼: Catalytic converters and filter systems as well as the switch to #electromobility 🔌 have significantly reduced the pollution caused by vehicles emissions 🚗💨 and industrial waste gases in recent decades. “However, air quality in megacities like Los Angeles has not improved to the same extent. It has been stagnating since about 2010,” says Dr. Eva Pfannerstill. 👩🔬 The troposher researcher, who leads a young investigator group at Jülich’s Institute of #Energy and #Climate Research (IEK 8), is investigating where the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for particulate matter and ozone come from and what #climatechange has to do with it. In her paper 📝, which was written at the University of California, Berkeley, and recently published in #Science, she sheds light on the contribution of plant and human emissions to the #airquality of #LosAngeles.

A recent numerical modeling study on aerosol-cloud interactions over two major cities in Texas, utilizing high-resolution WRF-Chem, has been accepted for publication in Atmospheric Environment. The study's first author, Nima Khorshidian, is a Ph.D. student in UH Choi's AQF research group, with several group members supported by a DOE federal grant. In my view, this research is highly significant in climate science, as our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions remains limited. We are continuing to investigate these complex interactions in greater depth through ongoing research efforts. https://lnkd.in/gwbakVsq
