Can't forget our wonderful (and possibly caught off guard) virtual participants! 📸

More photos from the ASCENT Network meeting! Thank you David Pando from Professor Ng's Research Group at Georgia Tech for giving us a tour of your Georgia Tech lab!! Perks of #ASCENT_USA 👌

We are pleased to announce the launch of ACS ES&T Air! ACS ES&T Air welcomes novel, cutting-edge, and globally relevant original research on all aspects of indoor and outdoor air quality sciences and engineering. Open for submissions June 2023: go.acs.org/5bo

Professor Ng's Research Group at Georgia Tech sharing updates on the chlorine-containing and bromine-containing particles from Conyer chemical fire at the ASCENT Network Atlanta measurement site on 11Alive News (starting at 2:00pm) 11alive.com/video/news/liv…

Here is a clip of the report and interview of Professor Ng's Research Group at Georgia Tech with 11Alive News on the chlorine-containing and bromine-containing particles from Conyers chemical fire at the ASCENT Network Atlanta measurement site.

Professor Ng's Research Group at Georgia Tech shared and discussed measurements of Conyers chemical fire smoke particles at the ⁦ASCENT Network⁩ Atlanta South DeKalb measurement station during a public briefing. youtube.com/watch?v=l6apVs…

Update from ASCENT Network Atlanta South DeKalb measurement station by Professor Ng's Research Group at Georgia Tech: chlorine-containing particles started to increase last night at 10pm, it’s about 9x higher than typical conditions at 8am this morning.

Bromine-containing particles followed a similar trend, it’s about 2x higher than typical conditions at 8am. The level of organic particles also followed a similar trend. Overall PM2.5 level is still within EPA 24-hour standard.

[Oct 4 2024, 4:20pm] Update from ASCENT Network Atlanta South DeKalb measurement station by Professor Ng's Research Group at Georgia Tech: Chlorine-containing particles peaked at 11am, it was about 93x higher than typical conditions.

Bromine-containing particles followed a similar trend, it was about 4x higher than typical conditions at 11 am. Both decreased afterwards. The level of organic particles also followed a similar trend. Overall PM2.5 level is still within EPA 24-hour standard.

Real-time air pollution measurements at the ASCENT Network LA site show high levels of lead and chlorine from LA fires. nytimes.com/2025/01/20/cli…

In the light of current devastating fires in LA, we are making selected preliminary real-time data available for the public to be better informed of potential pollutant exposures. Please see link below to view data. ascent.research.gatech.edu/database
