Mask testing paper out in JESEE
Our new paper from the Yale CEID on mask testing during the COVID-19 shutdown is out in Nature’s JESEE. Still testing in the CEID (Center for Engineering Innovation & Design) today with over 100 masks tested now!

Additional info on our accessible mask testing setup and PPE results are posted at covid.yale.edu/innovation/med& papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf Proud to have worked on this with Kate, Larry, & the CEID to support frontline healthcare workers.
Congratulations Dr. Jenna Ditto!!!
Congratulations Dr. Jenna Ditto on an awesome Ph.D. defense!! The complexities of organic aerosol presented were only matched by that of the hat! (A bit of deja vu today with another defense and another amazing Ph.D. hat by the group).
Congrats Dr. Sheu!!!
A big congratulations to Dr. Roger Sheu on an excellent Ph.D. defense!! Also, nice work to the group on his Ph.D. hat (a Mainz tradition we are happy to adopt).
Mask testing to support frontline healthcare workers: Not all masks are created equal!
Our survey of an actual hospital PPE inventory shows that with the influx of non-certified masks, not all “real” masks function properly. These aren’t just alternative/homemade masks, but masks that purportedly function as an N95 mask.
Info on our accessible mask testing setup and PPE results are posted at https://covid.yale.edu/innovation/medtech/n95/ & https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3592485
Proud to have worked on this with Kate Schilling, Larry Wilen, all our other awesome co-authors, & the CEID to support frontline healthcare workers. We hope communities with limited testing resources around the globe can use this for data-driven PPE decision-making.
The increasing influence of non-combustion sources on urban air quality via gas-phase organic compound emissions
Check out our paper showing that the future of urban air quality requires consideration of non-combustion emissions, a highly diverse mix of sources like consumer/commercial products and materials. It published as a highlight paper in ACP (https://www.atmos-chem-phys.
For VOCs and less-volatile gas-phase organics, it shows that a more holistic approach that also considers non-combustion emissions is warranted moving forward. The open access paper can be directly downloaded at: https://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/18/5391/2018/acp-18-5391-2018.pdf
Congrats Peeyush!
