معرفی
Arthur Chan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry at the University of Toronto, with a cross-appointment in Chemistry. His research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, air pollution, and the health impacts of airborne pollutants. Key areas include nanoplastics, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and indoor/outdoor air quality interactions.
Dr. Chan’s work addresses environmental and public health challenges through advanced analytical techniques like aerosol mass spectrometry and oxidative flow reactors. He collaborates on community-based projects to assess pollution in urban and industrial settings. His studies explore how particulate matter and VOCs influence respiratory health and viral infections, with implications for policy and exposure mitigation.
Recent projects include characterizing nanoplastic particles, analyzing cannabis emissions, and investigating the role of surface pH in indoor chemical fate. His interdisciplinary approach bridges engineering, chemistry, and public health, contributing to sustainable solutions for environmental challenges.
