Air pollution, which has implications for human health particularly in urban areas, may be attributed to volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. VOCs in the atmosphere have various sources, but of rising concern are those originating from personal care items, cleaning products, and industrial solvents.
Amy Barber and Caroline Bartelme were joined by Dr. Gemma Purser a 2024 BIO5 Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Laura Meredith’s lab in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona College of Agriculture, Life & Environmental Sciences. Specializing in atmospheric and analytical chemistry, Dr. Purser works to further understand VOCs so we better understand how they impact urban green spaces and air quality.
Dr. Gemma Purser left the University of Arizona at the end of June 2024.
