Dear <<First Name>>,
Summer is nearly over, and there's an exciting Fall ahead for IndoorChem - this means academic semesters getting underway, and plenty of Fall conferences to look forward to. We'd like to highlight AAAR 2019 in particular, where you can find a special symposium titled "The Air We Breathe: Indoor Aerosol Sources and Chemistry". We hope to see you there! |

Project Highlight: Chemistry of Indoor Surfaces: Role of Relative Humidity and Light
"The goal of the proposed study is to obtain both quantitative information (rate and extent of reaction) and the detailed molecular processes involved in the chemistry of indoor surfaces so that these data can be used as input in indoor air chemistry models." PI: Vicki Grassian (UC San Diego)

ISES ISIAQ took place in Kaunas, Lithuania from August 18th - 22nd, where we learned about current research in indoor air quality, from the uptake of phthalates through our skin, to viruses in the built environment. Did you miss your chance to experience ISES ISIAQ 2019 in person? Check out the hashtag to learn more, and read the blog post about ISES ISIAQ below.

Publication highlight
Autoxidation of Limonene Emitted in a University Art Museum
Demetrios Pagonis, Lucas B. Algrim, Derek J. Price, Douglas A. Day, Anne V. Handschy, Harald Stark, Shelly L. Miller, Joost A. de Gouw, Jose L. Jimenez, and Paul J. Ziemann, ES&T Letters
"Conditions inside the museum favored autoxidation for most of the 6-week study, indicating that autoxidation is prevalent indoors in the absence of an indoor combustion source of nitrogen oxide (NO)."

Indoor NH3: It's all about that base
By Laura Ampollini
"During these activities, ammonia reached concentrations fifty times higher than the mean background concentration! The maximum concentration reached during the cleaning activity was the highest concentration found over the entire experiment."
