Topic：An Integrative Approach to the Study of PM2.5 Pollutants: Rationale, Instrumentation, Sources, Effects, and Mitigation by Filtration
Speaker：Professor David Y.H. Pui
Time：10：00--12：00 AM, May 18, 2013
Venue：The Auditorium, Yuquanlu Campus, UCAS
( 19A Yuquanlu, Beijing )
Professor David Y.H. Pui received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1976. He became a full professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Minnesota in 1992. He has published more than 220 refereed journal papers and received 20 patents. He received the Fuchs Memorial Award at the International Aerosol Conference (IAC-2010) in Helsinki. He is Director of the long running Minnesota Short Course on Aerosol and Particle Measurement, attended by more than 2,200 practitioners from industry and government agencies. The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) conferred him an Einstein Professorship in 2013.
Abstrct: PM2.5 (Particulate Matter less than 2.5 µm) was established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1997 as the standard method for sampling fine particles, because of concern over the health effects of fine particles in the ambient environment. The effects of PM2.5 pollutants on the atmospheric visibility and human health will be addressed. The strategy for pollution control must be based on reducing the pollutants from these two primary sources. An integrative approach, from collaboration among academia, government, and industries, can effectively manage and mitigate the PM2.5 pollutants in China.
