Simulated reductions in heterogeneous isoprene epoxydiol reactive uptake from aerosol morphology in the contiguous United States using the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQv5.3.2)

Aerosol particles contain complex mixtures of polar and non-polar species that can undergo organic-inorganic phase separation. In phase-separated aerosol particles, the phase state of the outer organic coating can modulate heterogeneous chemistry. Heterogeneous chemistry leading...

Molecular Methods Reveal Responses of Bacterial Communities, Including Indicator Species, to Ballast Water Management

Ballast water (BW) is an important vector for the global transport of bacterial taxa, including pathogens. The application of molecular tools for evaluating and monitoring BW management practices could improve the accuracy and sensitivity of bacterial detections. However, few stu...
