Not all black carbon is created equal. We Environmental Science & Technology Journals reveal that during solid fuel combustion, low-maturity elemental carbon (char) forms alongside brown carbon via oxygenated PAH precursors—impacting climate models & light absorption estimates. 🌍🔥 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

#ChinaGut 2025 kicks off with a grand opening! 🎉 With 30+ academic sessions and 10+ industry-focused events, it’s set to attract thousands of participants from around the globe. Don’t miss it! 🌍 More details: cs.chinagut.cn/2025/en Mr Gut #ChinaGut2025 #Microbiome

Very pleased to have attended the #ChinaGut2025 Conference (>8,000 participants) by the magnificent Dongqian Lake in Ningbo and shared my recent progress on the microbial risks of plastic pollution in the iMeta session. #PlasticPollution #Plastisphere #Microbiome iMeta
