Title = “Ozone, PAN, and Aerosols in Megacities: Mexico City MILAGRO”

        Jeffrey S. Gaffney

        Professor and Chair

        University of Arkansas at Little Rock

        Air Pollution has been known for some time, having been termed   "photochemical smog" in Los Angeles and the Soutwest Coast Air

        Basin in California during the early 1950s. A brief overview of the chemistry of smog and its connections to peroxyacetyl

        nitrate (PAN) will be given. A novel measurement approach for PAN using luminol chemiluminescent detection and fast gas

        chromatography will also be discussed and compared with the  conventional electron capture detection method. PAN connections

        to aerosols and aerosols impacts on climate will be made during the presentation, and the current aerosol links to climate

        change made. A field project in Mexico City that was just completed in March of 2006 will be described and the use of

        natural radionuclides to evaluate aerosol lifetimes, sources, transport, and removal discussed briefly. The MILAGRO project is

        a combined effort of over 400 scientists from the U.S., Mexico and Europe and was supported by the Dept. of Energy, NSF, and

        NASA as well as Mexican agencies.

8:40 am Course evaluations administered by Dr. Manion.  I appreciate your objective feedback on the course re. things you appreciated and ways to improve.  Realize that these evaluations are completely anonymous; all written comments are retyped, so that I do not see the handwriting.  I also will not see these until late January, so they cannot positively or negatively affect your grade.  I especially appreciate constructive written comments, as the bubble sheet questions provide just numbers but no specifics.  Given the short class time allotted to this, you may wish to write your written comments before class and then give them to Dr. Manion when he comes to evaluate the course for me.
