The entire university community is invited to the following seminar:
Title: Geochemical and mineralogical aspects of aerosol: man does not live by physics alone.
Speaker: Dr. Sonia Castillo, Researcher at the University of Granada.
Location: Conference Room of the Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA)
Day and time: Friday, May 24, 2019, at 1:00 p.m.
Abstract:
The chemical composition of the aerosol plays a primary role in defining its properties, in addition to its behavior in the atmosphere. Due to the existence of toxic and harmful compounds for health, it is important to know and control the chemical composition of the aerosol we breathe. But it is not only important to know what each of the species in the atmosphere is composed of, but it is also essential to know the format in which they are presented: their mineralogy. Having one mineral particle or another will determine the air quality of an area, in addition to acting as indicators of particle emission source areas.
