Research Focus
Dr. Andrew Mason's lab focuses on developing wearable technologies to monitor personal exposure to air pollutants, particularly airborne particulate matter. They aim to create systems that provide real-time data on air quality, which can help in understanding health impacts and formulating interventions to reduce pollution exposure. The research could lead to significant advancements in public health and environmental safety by allowing individuals to track and manage their exposure to harmful air pollutants such as fine particles.
