The PSI Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry studies gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, affected by energy systems and impacting air quality, weather, climate change and human health.
Lab News & Scientific Highlights
Les polluants ne se forment souvent que dans l'air
Dans le cadre de l’expérience CLOUD au CERN, des scientifiques du PSI ont mesuré avec une précision jamais atteinte à ce jour comment les polluants atmosphériques organiques se forment et se répartissent.
Preparing the Future of PSI Large Facilities in Atmospheric Research
The Multiphase Chemistry Group in the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (LAC) looks back to a nearly 20 years record of activities with in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ scanning transmission X-ray spectromicroscopy (STXM) to address key fundamental questions in atmospheric chemistry. This is the time to consider new horizons, align with current and future needs in atmospheric sciences, and to identify novel opportunities driven by upcoming trends in methods, technologies and facilities. This has been the topic of the Workshop ‘X-ray and Neutron Spectroscopy, Scattering and Imaging in Atmospheric Chemistry’, held at PSI 13 – 15 November 2024.
S’attaquer à la racine d’un problème de santé global
Imad El Haddad analyse la composition chimique et l’impact sur la santé des particules fines au Center for Energy and Environmental Sciences de l’Institut Paul Scherrer PSI.
Les sources du smog à Beijing ont été identifiées
Des scientifiques du PSI ont identifié les sources du smog à Beijing. Certaines d’entre elles sont très éloignées de la capitale chinoise.
