Impact of Wildfire Smoke Events on Indoor Air Quality and Evaluation of a Low-cost Filtration Method by Nathaniel W. May, Clara Dixon, Daniel A. Jaffe

“…Recommendations for limiting exposure to PM2.5 and associated adverse health outcomes focus on staying inside, closing windows and doors, and increasing filtration; however, relatively little is known about indoor air quality (IAQ) during major smoke events. Indoor and outdoor hourly PM2.5 (µg m−3) measurements from the publicly available PurpleAir sensor (PAS) network were analyzed for 42 sites (26 residential, 6 school, 10 commercial) across the western US during a September 2020 period of heavy wildfire smoke influence. …”

Characterization and Atmospheric Drivers of Nocturnal Ozone Enhancement in Putian City, China by Chunsheng Fang, Xiaowei Zhou, Yuxuan Cai, Ju Wang

“…The results suggest that O₃ transport, especially horizontal transport from the eastern sea and Zhejiang Province and vertical transport from the upper atmosphere, could be the major cause of NOE events over Putian City. Furthermore, the nocturnal movement of the pollution zone, along with the aggregation of O₃ due to weakened dry deposition and the influence of a stable boundary layer obstructed by mountain terrain, significantly influenced the overall O₃ concentration. …”

Change of salt tolerance in common wheat after introgression of genetic material from Aegilops speltoides and Triticum timopheevii by R. S. Yudina, I. N. Leonova, E. A. Salina, E. K. Khlestkina

“…The observed differences between the parental wheat genotypes and the introgression lines derived from them are discussed with regard to the locations of alien introgression fragments in the lines tested and the map positions of known wheat QTLs and major genes related to salt tolerance. It is assumed that a locus yet undescribed that affects wheat salt tolerance is located distal to the Xgwm0604 marker on the long arm of chromosome 5B.…”
