Research keywords

semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs); reactive organic carbon (ROC); indoor air quality; phthalates and plasticizers; wildfire smoke and indoor surfaces; PFAS measurements; dry and wet deposition; atmospheric oxidation; secondary organic aerosol; isomer-resolved measurements; thermal-desorption aerosol GC (TAG); chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS); exposure assessment; system-of-systems

Key findings

  • Rapid deposition inhibits the formation of late-generation atmospheric compounds (Bi & Isaacman-VanWertz, Nature Geoscience, 2025).
  • Phthalate plasticizers transfer directly from flooring and mattresses into settled dust (Bi et al., Environ. Sci. Technol., 2021).
  • SVOC levels in HVAC filter dust were associated with childhood asthma severity in low-income homes (Bi et al., Environment International, 2018).
