About APL

The Atmospheric Processes Laboratory (APL) research group aims to advance understanding of the sources and impacts of air pollution, including particles, air toxics, ozone, and greenhouse gases. The group characterizes air pollution across the United States using advanced measurement, modeling, and data fusion approaches. Advanced approaches are used to understand secondary aerosol formation in the atmosphere and answer questions related to exposure and source characterization. Environmental chambers are employed to simulate atmospheric conditions and study the evolution of pollution from a wide range of sources.
