The size, concentration, and chemical species of particles in the air tell a story about where they came from and how they will impact human and environmental health. "In my summer work, I ran and analyzed samples in order to determine such traits about aerosols from two sites in and around Rocky Mountain National Park in both the spring and the summer. This will help us characterize the chemical makeup of air in the park and further the general understanding of aerosol chemistry and formation mechanisms. " ![]() |
