Description of the class :
Content : Occurs at FDU (2-3 weeks) : 36 hours the first 3 weeks of April (2 FDU credits ; 3 OU Credits or ECTS)
Class 1: Nucleation, aging and loss of atmospheric aerosols (WANG, L.; 6hr, L)
Primary emission and secondary formation of aerosol particles; Theory, laboratory experiments, and ambient
measurements of atmospheric nucleation; formation mechanisms of secondary inorganic and organic aerosols; current
theories for SOAs; dry and wet deposition of aerosols
Class 2: Experimental techniques for aerosol study (CHEN, J.M.; 6hr, L)
Smog chamber technique; size distribution measurement; optical properties of aerosol particles
Class 3: Mass spectrometry techniques for aerosol measurement (YANG , X.; 6hr, L)
(1) Online MS techniques including AMS, ATOFMS, and CIMS
(2) Offline MS techniques including DESI, GCMS, LCMS
Class 4: Bioaerosol and detection (SUI, G.D.; 6hr, L)
(1) Components of bioaerosol, including bacteria, virus, fungus and so on.
(2) Relationship between infectious diseases with airborne pathogens.
(3) Sampling techniques of bioaerosol, including different samplers.
(4) Analysis techniques of airborne pathogens including immunoanalysis and nucleic acid analysis.
(5) New techniques for bioaerosol analysis.
(6) Remaining challenges and future perspectives for bioaerosol analysis.
Class 5: Climate impact of aerosols through aerosol indirect effects on biogeochemical cycles (CHEN, Y.; 6hr, L)
(1) changing the physical climate of the ocean or land ecosystem, and thereby changing biogeochemical (carbon) fluxes;
or (2) depositing chemicals that modify the biogeochemical cycles. In the latter case, the aerosols could supply either
nutrients that stimulate phytoplankton growth (carbon fixation) or, alternatively, toxins that suppress growth
Class 6: Laboratory Tour and Presentation by students (TBA; 6hr, T)
