项目摘要

This award from the Environmental Chemical Sciences Program in the NSF Division of Chemistry supports Professor Vicky Grassian at the University of California, San Diego. Professor Grassian and her team investigate the role of aerosols, in particular, their interactions with different gases in the atmosphere from both natural and pollution sources. Aerosols are solid or liquid particles suspended in air. They are an important component of the Earth’s atmosphere and can impact human health and climate. This project investigates the chemical reactions of mineral dust aerosols, a class of aerosols from windblown soils and desert regions that circulate around the globe. Understanding the interaction of mineral dust aerosol with gases increases our knowledge of the different components that make up the atmosphere and the air we breathe. Other broader impacts include the training of undergraduate and graduate students. Professor Grassian has a research program that attracts a large and diverse number of students including many women and underrepresented minorities. Additionally, educational and outreach activities for the broader public will be developed. Dr. Grassian leads efforts to expand and enhance the effectiveness of outreach activities including further development of hands-on activities for the broader public that span K-12 students including activities that relate increase in volatile organic emissions to familiar consumer products.,This project focuses on laboratory studies of reactions of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds with mineral dust aerosol, an important component of the Earth’s atmosphere. The organic compounds include trace atmospheric gases termed volatile chemical products (VCPs), which recently have been identified as a class of compounds that comes predominantly from industrial sources. A multi-technique, molecule-based approach employing mass spectrometry and vibrational spectroscopy is used to probe mechanistic details of surface adsorption and subsequent reactions of the adsorbed organic compounds with acidic gases and oxidants. The research project identifies how mechanisms for these reactions change as a function of relative humidity and the presence of adsorbed water. The project also determines how the different components of mineral dust aerosol impact its reactivity. New products formed in these reactions are being characterized. This research aims to provide new insights and a better understanding of the heterogeneous and multiphase chemistry of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds with mineral dust aerosols from the perspective of fundamental molecular processes as well as potential global impacts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学部环境化学科学项目颁发，支持加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Vicky Grassian教授。格拉西安教授和她的团队调查了气溶胶的作用，特别是它们与大气中来自自然和污染源的不同气体的相互作用。气溶胶是悬浮在空气中的固体或液体颗粒。它们是地球大气的重要组成部分，可以影响人类健康和气候。这个项目调查了矿物粉尘气溶胶的化学反应，这是一种来自风吹土壤和沙漠地区的气溶胶，在全球范围内循环。了解矿物粉尘气溶胶与气体的相互作用增加了我们对构成大气和我们呼吸的空气的不同成分的认识。其他更广泛的影响包括培养本科生和研究生。格拉西安教授的研究项目吸引了大量不同类型的学生，其中包括许多女性和代表性不足的少数族裔。此外，还将为广大公众开展教育和外联活动。格拉西安博士致力于扩大和提高外展活动的有效性，包括进一步发展面向更广泛的公众（包括K-12学生）的实践活动，包括将挥发性有机排放物增加与熟悉的消费品联系起来的活动。该项目侧重于挥发性和半挥发性有机化合物与矿物粉尘气溶胶反应的实验室研究，矿物粉尘气溶胶是地球大气的重要组成部分。有机化合物包括被称为挥发性化学产品（VCPs）的痕量大气气体，最近已被确定为主要来自工业来源的一类化合物。采用多技术、基于分子的方法，采用质谱法和振动光谱法来探测表面吸附的机理细节以及吸附的有机化合物与酸性气体和氧化剂的后续反应。该研究项目确定了这些反应的机制如何随着相对湿度和吸附水的存在而变化。该项目还确定了矿物粉尘气溶胶的不同成分如何影响其反应性。在这些反应中形成的新产物正在被表征。本研究旨在从基本分子过程和潜在的全球影响的角度，为挥发性和半挥发性有机化合物与矿物粉尘气溶胶的异质和多相化学提供新的见解和更好的理解。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
