Airborne particulate matter of biological origin play an important role in public health and climate. This is evidenced most recently by the global pandemic, whereby transmission of the coronavirus via aerosol and droplets during exhalation is thought to be the dominant exposure pathway.

Atmospheric sulfate aerosols have important impacts on air quality, climate, and human and ecosystem health.

As the economic toll of wildfires, floods, droughts, and sea-level rises grow, so does the concern about the risk of climate change. Government, industry, and investors are increasingly trying to factor the cost of climate change into their decisions.

Urban engineering is the discipline that studies and designs urban infrastructure as integrated and co-dependent systems. It is by nature inter-disciplinary, including elements of urban planning, urban metabolism, computer science, and civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Urban infrastructure systems include buildings, transport, water, wastewater, electricity, gas, solid waste, and telecom infrastructure systems.

Dispersal is a critical yet poorly understood factor underlying macroecological patterns in microbial communities.

The production at industrial scale of recombinant proteins (rProt) and metabolites is of increasing economic importance.

Cooking volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an important source of indoor VOCs, which has attracted more attention in recent years with increasing concerns about indoor health.

Aquatic biotas are continuously exposed to multiple stressors, whether those be chemical or abiotic (for example acidity). Although this understanding of the presence of multiple stressors is common knowledge, the vast amount of research focuses on individual stressors.
