Hello and thank you for visiting the Air Quality Modeling & Exposure Lab website!

 

Our research centers on developing and applying advanced air quality modeling and data fusion approaches to characterize air pollution in the United States. These advanced approaches are used to answer questions related to community-scale exposure and source characterization. The lab is led by UC Berkeley Civil and Environmental Engineering professor, Dr. Cesunica E. Ivey.

Stay tuned for more updates to our new lab webpage! Meanwhile, feel free to peruse our recent publications!

"Indoor and ambient influences on PM2.5 exposure and well-being for a rail impacted community and implications for personal protections"

In a collaborative community-led effort in West San Bernardino, CA, we leverage low-cost wearable and stationary PM2.5 monitoring to support household resilience to air pollution for the community downwind of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe intermodal facility. Sponsored by the California Air Resources Board and co-developed with community organizers, monitoring and community engagement provided high-resolution exposure data that highlighted higher than average particulate matter infiltration. Individualized resilience plans were provided to community members to inform strategies for exposure mitigation and to support their advocacy of environmental justice concerns. This manuscript is part of the ERL Focus Issue on community engagement in environmental engineering.
