People spend up to 90 % of their time each day indoors where emissions from domestic or professional activities may affect the chemistry and exposure of people in these atmospheres. Reactive nitrogen species are well-known catalysts in the degradation of urban air quality and formation of atmospheric particles, with potential to affect indoor air quality in a similar fashion. Research in the VandenBoer group is pursuing the development and testing of new analytical instrumentation and methodologies for quantifying the reactive nitrogen budget indoors. The purpose is to provide platforms that can be used safely in these spaces to widely survey the role of reactive nitrogen in indoor environments, while also providing selective detection of the various components of the reactive nitrogen pool. This work is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation through the Chemistry of Indoor Environments Program. This program encompasses a passionate community of experts from around the world to provide insight into the chemistry controlling the composition of the indoor atmosphere, who meet regularly at workshops and international conferences such as the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate, Healthy Buildings, Canadian Society for Chemistry and the American Chemical Society. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Open Sans SemiBold",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Open Sans SemiBold",sans-serif'>The available project is focused on the design, construction, automation, and validation of a real-time reactive nitrogen budget analytical platform for indoor atmospheres.

The postdoctoral researcher will facilitate full system integration for speciation of the reactive nitrogen pool through instrument automation (e.g. calibration, blanks, other analytical channels). The developed instrument will be intercompared with online techniques used in outdoor atmospheric chemistry and to quantify reactive nitrogen in indoor environments. Intercomparisons and proof-of-principle testing in this project will be performed at the York University Air Quality Research Station, and at a variety of field locations throughout the Greater Toronto Area, southwestern Ontario, and further abroad.
