Welcome!
This laboratory is led by Dr. Marina E. Vance, Associate Professor in theÌýÌýand program faculty in the Ìýat CU Â鶹ӰԺ.
Our research focus is inÌýAir Quality, particularly in experimental measurement of the physical properties of aerosols (small particle or droplets suspended in air) in the context of ambient and indoor air quality. Much of our research investigates the interplay between indoor and outdoor air quality, especially when it comes to particulate matter. There is no established safe level for particulate matter inhalation, below which adverse effects do not occur. Applications of our research include evaluatingÌýphysical and chemical transformations of aerosols indoors and outdoors andÌýassessing emissions to informÌý"safer by design" consumer products. Our mission is to perform experimental aerosol science research toÌýlead to a positive impact in human health and the environment.
