The principal objective of the Environmental Research Program is to understand the formation, transformation, transport, and effects of energy-related pollutants on the environment, and how these are influenced by energy generation and emission control technology. The multidisciplinary research program includes fundamental and applied research in physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology, as well as research on the development of advanced methods of measurement and analysis. The Program's Annual Report contains summaries of research performed during FY 1988 in the areas of atmospheric aerosols, flue gas chemistry, combustion, membrane bioenergetics and analytical chemistry. The main research interests of the Atmospheric Aerosol Research Group concern the chemical and physical processes that occur in haze, clouds, and fogs, and development of novel methods for individual particle characterization. The Flue Gas Chemistry Research group is engaged in research whose aim is to help develop new processes for simultaneous SO/sub 2/ and NO/sub x/removal. The Combustion Research Group studies complex combustion processes by acquiring a fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical processes that determine the combustion efficiency, formation, and emissions of species from these processes. The Membrane Bioenergetics Group studies the effects of strongly chemically reactive compounds generated within cells. The main emphases in Analytical Chemistry have continued to be in the area of impacts and mass extinctions.
