Research Interests

Indoor and outdoor air pollution, dynamics of听ultrafine aerosols, consumer exposure to incidental or engineered nanomaterials

Dr. Marina Vance鈥檚 research is focused on air quality, particularly on measuring emissions and understanding the dynamics of aerosols in the context of ambient and indoor air quality. Applications of her research range from consumer safety and "safer by design" consumer products, to indoor and outdoor air pollution, soiling of photovoltaic panels and sustainability, and exposure science.

Societal Impact

Air pollution shortens human life spans from a few months to years depending on location. Our research aims to听reduce people's exposure to air pollutants and other emerging contaminants to improve quality of life worldwide.
