Welcome!
This laboratory is led by Dr. Marina E. Vance, Associate Professor in theÌýÌýand program faculty in the Ìýat CU Boulder.
Our research focuses on air quality, particularly the experimental measurement of the physical properties of aerosols (small particle or droplets suspended in air) in both indoor and outdoor environments. Much of our work explores the interplay between indoor and outdoor air, especially with regard to particulate matter. There is no established safe threshold for particulate matter inhalation and adverse effects can occur even at low levels.
Applications of our research include:
- Evaluating the physical and chemical transformations of aerosols indoors and outdoors
- Assessing emissions to inform the design of safer consumer products
Our mission is to perform experimental aerosol science that advances knowledge and leads to positive impacts on human health and the environment.
