My main research questions are related to the source and the magnitude of emissions linked to air pollution, ozone depletion and climate change, as well as the impacts of these emissions on humans and on society. I am also interested in what policy measures are available to reduce these emissions, and how politics play a role in policymaking process. My current projects are: 1) assessing the impact of agricultural practices on soil GHG/ammonia fluxes; 2) using low-cost air quality sensors to measure air quality; 3) creating a prototype of anaerobic digestion for reducing food waste on campus; 4) assessing the impact of plastic burning on human health and ambient air quality in Guatemala; 5) assessing the link between air quality exposure and asthma and 6) understand and mitigate the current and possible future soil heavy metal and metalloid and other chemical contaminant exposure among children in the Westside of Atlanta.
