How the Sun Changes Pollution Particles in the Air and Water

This is the video of a chat with Krishna L. Foster, professor of chemistry at California State University, Los Angeles, discussing the role of small particles in air pollution. Her research investigates the effects of sunlight on pollutants in air and water; for instance, many pesticides are decomposed by sunlight  but little is known about what they decompose into. This talk is sponsored by the RTP, UNC, and NC State chapters of Sigma Xi. Members of Sigma Xi will be able to post follow-up questions for Dr. Foster in Sigma Xi's online community, The Lab, at community.sigmaxi.org, in the discussion thread titled "Let's talk about air pollution."
