Our latest study in ACS ES&T Air uses advanced sensors to map the movement and transformation of nano-sized ultrafine particles in HVAC systems, offering new insights for indoor air quality management: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The State Senate is ready to move California forward! Incredibly proud to serve alongside these dynamic Senators, who reflect the best of the Golden State. Let’s get to work! 2025-26 Committee Assignments ⬇️ sd02.senate.ca.gov/news/senate-le…

Caltech: “…preliminary data from particulate samplers located in Pico Rivera, south of Caltech's campus in Pasadena show significant amounts of both chlorine (from burning plastics like PVC) and lead in the air. (These samplers do not measure asbestos.)”

Getting lots of questions about how to filter VOC's for low cost (like CR boxes w/ MERV filters)--Odor Filtrete filters do take out many VOC's. Takes more time....certainly better than nothing.

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether.

Sorry to disappoint those who claim #WindWaterSolar can't provide stable power during polar winter, but "Combining wind, solar & H2 fuel cells, the system ensures stable power through months of darkness+extreme cold, reducing fossil reliance >100 tons/y" sixthtone.com/news/1016781

New article is out! We wrote up our 5 year campaign in the University of California as a case study for other grassroots groups. Key wins: 10 campus decarbonization plans (2 projects underway) & the nation's largest climate general ed requirement. frontiersin.org/journals/educa…

Five UCSD students had their F-1 visas terminated this week, according to a campus-wide notice sent from their chancellor's office on Friday. It also said a sixth student was “detained at the border, denied entry, and deported to their home country.” on.nbc7.com/kSfWC7c

Excited to share our new perspective paper in ES&T on atmospheric micro- & nanoplastic particles! 🧪 We cover recent advances & future directions in this emerging area. Great collaboration with Nate Slade, Arthur Chan & Andy Ault! 📄 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #Microplastics

Our paper just came out in Science Advances showing the chemicals in the air in Imperial Beach (many aerosolized from the polluted Tijuana River). Thanks to the entire team-especially Prof. Nate Slade and his (then) graduate student (now Dr.) Adam Cooper. today.ucsd.edu/story/tijuana-…

Pollution from the Tijuana River is ending up in the air near the border, study finds latimes.com/environment/st…

Our communities deserve nothing less than clean water and clean air to breathe! We've secured over half a billion in federal funds to combat pollution, but this is why we've called for a state of emergency, funding for air quality monitoring, and CDC research. We won't let up.

⚠️Pollution from the Tijuana River— including sewage, industrial waste and runoff —is impacting the air quality in San Diego, according to a new study led by UC San Diego researchers. Learn more about the research led by Adam Cooper, PhD & Kimberly Prather, Ph.D.: today.ucsd.edu/story/tijuana-…

Tijuana River sewage isn’t just a water problem, it also impacts air quality. I've fought for several years to address this, securing hundreds of millions in federal funds. We're working in a bipartisan way towards a solution. Can't happen fast enough. sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/05/28/ucs…

Thank you, Sen. Cory Booker, for standing with South County in the fight to clean up the toxic sewage disaster in the Tijuana River Valley. Like you said, this sewage crisis wouldn’t be tolerated in Malibu or Mar-a-Lago. We must keep the pressure on to protect our community.

Thank you Sen. Cory Booker for your attention to the Tijuana sewer crisis and for recognizing this emergency for what it is, an environmental justice crisis that has existed for far too long! 🚨 Tijuana River Valley communities deserve to live and thrive free from toxic sewage waste.
