The main focus of the Atmospheric Photochemistry Research Group at GIG-Chinese Academy of Science is to understand and quantify the photochemical processes occurring on various surfaces of atmospheric relevance and within the aerosol deliquescent particles. This research is critical because provides quantitative information that can be used in photochemical models (regional and global scale) to better understand the air quality and climate change issues.
Our recent collaborative study revealed that the (photo)chemical reaction between ozone and widely used indoor cleaning agents can produce secondary organic aerosols (SOA), representing a potential risk to human health in indoor environments. This work has been published in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts and was selected as the cover article for the current issue.
