Presidential Young Investigators Award: Sources, Chemistry and Fates of Atmospheric Organic Aerosols.

这是一个支持以有机空气污染物为重点的研究的奖项，特别强调有机气溶胶的来源、化学反应和最终命运。由这位总统青年研究员发起的这项研究计划的目标是充分描述有机气溶胶的来源和行为，以便开发准确的有机源-受体模型，用于空气污染控制过程和系统的工程设计。该奖项为这位总统青年调查员提供了初步的基层支持。预计结果将促进我们现在对影响与室外和室内空气中气溶胶相关的空气污染物命运的化学机制的理解。这将反过来应用于数学模型的制定，这些模型可以作为处理这一环境威胁的过程和系统的工程设计的基础。

This is an award to support research the focus of which is on organic air pollutants, with particular emphasis on the sources, chemical reactivity, and ultimate fates of organic aerosols. The goal of the research program to be initiated with this award by this Presidential Young Investigator is to characterize the origins and behavior of organic aerosols well enough to allow the development of accurate organic source-receptor models for use in engineering design of air pollution control processes and systems. This award provides initial base-level support for this Presidential Young Investigator. Results are expected to advance the understanding we now have of chemical mechanisms that influence the fate of air pollutants associated with aerosols in outdoor and indoor air. This in turn is expected to be applied to formulation of mathematical models that can serve as the basis for engineering design of processes and systems for dealing with this environmental threat.
