7月12日至7月14日，应中国科学院城市环境与健康重点实验室和肖航研究组邀请，加拿大多伦多大学的Frank Wania教授访问中国科学院宁波城市环境观测研究站。  

　　Frank Wania教授主要研究方向为环境中化学物质的定性与定量分析，现已发表论文250多篇。在访问期间，Frank Wania教授向宁波站科研人员和研究生做了题为“New approaches to predicting and displaying phase partitioning during secondary organic aerosol formation”的学术报告，重点介绍了其近些年来在二次有机气溶胶模拟、预测以及环境行为评价方面的研究进展，并与现场的科研人员对所介绍的新方法在我国大气环境污染研究中应用前景以及三种数据模型模拟结果差异性的原因以及进行了热烈的讨论和交流。在访问期间，Frank Wania教授参观了宁波观测研究站内各研究组实验室及仪器中心，向有关科研人员介绍了一种新型大气元素汞被动采样器的原理及使用方法，并对随后开展环境因素对采样器采样速率影响研究和汞污染的迁移转化研究方面开展进一步合作进行了深入的探讨。 

　　Frank Wania教授简介： 

　　Frank Wania is a professor with cross appointments in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry at the University of Toronto. He is the leader of an environmental chemistry research group in the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough. His research is concerned with understanding and quantifying the fate and behavior of chemicals in the environment. The focus is on phase partitioning and transport of organic contaminants. Frank is the recipient of the 2015 Environment Division Research and Development Dima Award of the Chemical Institute of Canada, which is presented for distinguished contributions to research and/or development in the fields of environmental chemistry or environmental chemical engineering. 

　　Frank is the chair of editorial board of Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, formerly the Journal of Environmental Monitoring. He has published more than 250 peer reviewed articles, with a h-index = 65. Since January 2014, he and his group have published over 20 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals.
