Representative Research Case

Development of comprehensive analysis method for water-soluble and -insoluble hazardous organic substances in PM 2.5 airborne particles

To solve the fine airborne dust problem posing as a major threat to the national health, an analytical platform for determining the composition and content of the complex organic matter in the fine aerosols was developed, and more accurate and valuable information on the aerosol-derived hazardous organic compounds has been acquired.

Investigation of regional characteristics of aerosol-derived organics and heavy metal isotopes collected during winter season at the strategic spots of Korea and China

Application

  • Characterization of biosynthesized melanin dye
  • Streptomyces secondary metabolite analysis
