As part of a new grant funded by the National Science Foundation, Prof. Roya Bahreini, an ETOX faculty member, will be overseeing the installation of a new aerosol monitoring site which will monitor the size and composition of aerosols in real time. The new site is part of a nation-wide network being formed through the Aerosol Science and mEasurement NeTwork or ASCENT project led by Prof. Nga-Lee of Georgia Institute of Technology. Three of the sites are in Southern California, one in Pico Rivera, another in Riverside and a third one in Joshua Tree National Park, which will allow changes in the aerosols to be seen as they travel from the LA metro area through the Inland Empire and into the desert. More information on the project and Prof. Bahreini's involvement can be found on the UC Riverside News website. Our congratulations to Roya and her colleagues for this new award.
