Please join us Tuesday 12 August 2008 at 5:30 PM for Tech Oasis Night.

Speaker: Matt Fraser Ph.D., Global Institute of Sustainability at ASU

Topic: Understanding Urban Particle Pollution

Dr. Fraser’s research focuses on using organic speciation and receptor modeling to apportion ambient pollutants to their original source. Dr. Fraser’s research group has been involved in field monitoring programs, source characterization studies, emission inventory preparation, and analytical method and instrument development projects. The title is Understanding Urban Particle Pollution Atmospheric particles, including smoke, dust and haze, impact human health, decrease visibility and are a key uncertainty in the climate balance of the planet. Understanding the sources of particles is the first step in any strategy to reducing their concentration in an urban region such as Phoenix. Using detailed chemical analysis, we can fingerprint the original source of particles and track their emission from different sources to remote locations. The importance of these microscopic pollutants will be presented along findings of various source attribution studies.

Location: Crave Bar and Grill in Downtown Tempe
