The oxidation of alkyl-substituted aromatic molecules produces oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) and secondary aerosols (SOA) that are major components ambient urban air. Despite their ubiquity, the impacts variable conditions, such as relative humidity (RH) actinic exposure, on physicochemical processes contribute to SOA formation still subject ongoing research refinement. In this work, we perform laboratory environmental chamber experiments use an I– FIGAERO–CIMS examine...
The development of chemopreventive strategies with the ability to prevent progression lung lesions malignant cancers would reduce mortality and morbidity resulting from this deadly disease. Delivery microRNA (miRNA) by inhalation is a novel method for cancer prevention. In study, we investigated combined efficacy aerosolized miR-138-5p miR-200c miRNA mimics in Combination two miRNAs inhibited Benzo(a)pyrene (B((a))P)-induced adenomas N-nitroso-tris-chloroethylurea (NTCU)-induced squamous...
Growth in unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) the United States has increased airborne emissions, raising environmental human health concerns. To assess potential impacts on air quality, we deployed instrumentation Karnes City, Texas, a rural area middle of Eagle Ford Shale. We measured several episodes elevated Cl2 levels, reaching maximum hourly averages 800 ppt, highest inland concentration reported to date. Concentrations peak during day, suggesting strong local source (given...
