This award of the Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) program funded through the Division of Chemistry and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) supports the research and educational activities of Dr. Marin Robinson of Northern Arizona University. The research involves a pilot program to monitor particulate matter in Flagstaff, AZ to analyze the chemical composition of wood smoke collected during prescribed burns of Flagstaff's Coconino National Forest and to evaluate the need for a permanent sampling station in Flagstaff. Portable saturation samplers will be used to monitor fine and larger particulate matter (PM-2.5/10) at six pre-selected sites in Flagstaff during high and low wood-burning periods as well as during prescribed burns in the national forest. The particulates will be analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.The opportunity afforded through the POWRE program will enhance Dr. Robinson's research potential as well as her ultimate goal of the educational mentoring of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral scientists in both classroom and research laboratory. The proposed research program will use students to sample, compile, and analyze the data in class projects. The results of these studies should help determine whether Flagstaff, AZ exceeds National Air Quality Standards for certain air-borne particulates.

通过化学系和MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）资助的女性研究和教育专业机会（POWRE）计划的这一奖项支持北方亚利桑那大学的Marin罗宾逊博士的研究和教育活动。 该研究涉及一项试点计划，以监测颗粒物在弗拉格斯塔夫，亚利桑那州分析木材烟雾的化学成分收集在规定的燃烧弗拉格斯塔夫的可可尼诺国家森林和评估需要一个永久性的采样站在弗拉格斯塔夫。 便携式饱和采样器将用于监测细颗粒物和较大颗粒物（PM-2.5/10）在弗拉格斯塔夫的六个预选地点在高和低木材燃烧期间，以及在国家森林规定的燃烧。 通过POWRE项目提供的机会将增强罗宾逊博士的研究潜力，以及她在课堂和研究实验室为本科生、研究生和博士后科学家提供教育指导的最终目标。 拟议的研究计划将使用学生抽样，编译和分析类项目的数据。 这些研究的结果应有助于确定弗拉格斯塔夫，亚利桑那州是否超过国家空气质量标准的某些空气传播的颗粒。
