Using TelosAir Corp aerosol small sensors to confirm that GAPS Network #PUFdisk passive air samplers capture #PM effectively even on calm days. Answer is yes!



**Reminder - SETAC Dublin 2023 abstract deadline is next week! Have a look at session 3.24 #POPs and Emerging Pollutants @SETAC_world SETAC_ChemIG setac.confex.com/setac/europe20…


Excited to be part of this new project exploring the chemical mixture in air, including GAPS Network sampling stations.

Excited to share our new publication on the global atmospheric levels and trends of PFAS and Siloxanes from a single sampling network GAPS Network ECCC SciTech Environment Canada doi.org/10.1016/j.envp…


Checking on the #pufdisk passive air samplers after last night's snow - "they take a licking but keep on ticking". 😃 GAPS Network #ATOUSAstudy

Today’s office view Whistler Blackcomb @eccc_news’s alpine research station changing GAPS Network filters.


The ALARM project aims to maps global exposure to airborne mobile organic contaminants by deploying silicone foam passive air samplers worldwide. According to Jon Martin, the early warning system will "empower sustainable chemical policy" Full story 👇 bit.ly/3HHpE8q

Great to meet Assistant Deputy Minister Marc D'Iorio this morning with Aman Saini to discuss GAPS Network and our strategies to address #chemicalmixtures in air and other cross-cutting issues such as #health #biodiversity #climate #waste #vulnerablepopulations ECCC SciTech


Jon Martin Adrià Sunyer Caldú The UFOs are up🛸!! A calibration study to assess the comparability of co-deployed three different passive air sampling media and to characterise the new silicone based passive air sampler as a part of ALARM project.

Our new paper using open-source land-use data to quantify and rank the remoteness of air monitoring sites from human infrastructure, applied to GAPS Network sites. Can link results from independent studies and for other chemical classes ECCC SciTech doi.org/10.1021/acsome…

New! Our first global-scale measurements of trace metals in air using #PUFdisk passive air samplers (#PUFPAS) under the GAPS Network. More to come!

Congrats! Egide KALISA for leading our proof-of-concept paper on tracking #eDNA (#bioaerosols, #bacteria, #fungi, #aerobiome) in air using GAPS Network type #PUFdisk passive air samplers. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
