Ariya Atmospheric & interfacial chemistry research group

Our laboratory's mission is to explore major fundamental  and applied research questions on chemical and physical processes involving aerosols, as well as organic and metal pollutants of relevance to the Earth's atmosphere and its interfaces (air-snow/ice/water/soil).  We also develop novel sustainable technology (natural nanoparticles, energy-neutral, and recyclable) for air and water pollution remediation, & cutting-edge technology for ultra-trace detection of gaseous and particulate matter.    Our direct research contributions are to the fields of  physical and analytical chemistry, climate change, sustainable chemistry and technology, air pollution, nano-science, environmental health and medicine.
