Really nice work about dust provenance from fellow @LamontEarth students and faculty. It is hard to imagine a dusty Antarctica.

- Now we are cooking with(out) gas. Great work to examine health benefits of cooking without gas in NYC. A great partnership between @weact4ej and @ColumbiaMSPH @LamontEarth and others.Strong work from @misbath_d and colleagues at @weact4ej, @RockyMtnInst, @BerkeleyAir, @AccessSensor, @ColumbiaMSPH, @LamontEarth.

- New work from the @KathrinSchilli3 and the Metals lab at @ColumbiaMSPH working with @LamontEarth scientists Beizhan Yan and Khue Nguyen (and others) on a neglected exposure pathway to metals and other contaminants. Funded in part by @SRP_NIEHS via @Columbia_SRP and @CEHJNMNew #ColumbiaEHS & @UCBerkeleySPH study finds toxic metals in tampons from various brands, raising public health concerns due to the high potential for chemical absorption through vaginal skin. @KathrinSchilli3 #WomensHealth ow.ly/aerN50Sx9Iv
- Finally, after considerable effort, the first field trial of our iron-based remediation methods. The Suns Jing and Yuqin used Fe(II) injections to remediate natural As contamination affecting an irrigation well in Western China. 1/ @SRP_NIEHS funded
- Arsenic remediation in highly-contaminated sites represents a challenge that requires active approaches. With collaborators Alyssa Barron, Henning Prommer, and others, we demonstrate how As is retained by in situ iron mineral formation, @SRP_NIEHS funded
