Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Hydrogen

Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts spends much of her time researching Ozone, Inorganic chemistry, Environmental chemistry, Analytical chemistry and Chlorine. Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts is interested in Atmospheric chemistry, which is a field of Ozone. Her Atmospheric chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Air pollution, Clean Air Act and Hazardous waste.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Salt, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Nitrogen dioxide and Aqueous solution in addition to Inorganic chemistry. Her research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Halogen, Particulates, Sea salt, NOx and Troposphere. She works mostly in the field of Analytical chemistry, limiting it down to concerns involving Aerosol and, occasionally, Sulfuric acid.

Her most cited work include:

  • Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere: Theory, Experiments, and Applications (1560 citations)
  • Atmospheric chemistry : fundamentals and experimental techniques (1077 citations)
  • Tropospheric air pollution: ozone, airborne toxics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and particles (837 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts mainly investigates Analytical chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Photochemistry, Ozone and Environmental chemistry. Her study in Analytical chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Photodissociation and Aerosol. Her studies in Inorganic chemistry integrate themes in fields like Chlorine, Salt, Sea salt, Aqueous solution and Chloride.

Her Photochemistry research incorporates themes from Attenuated total reflection and Radical. Her biological study focuses on Atmospheric chemistry. Her Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as NOx, Air pollution, Particulates and Troposphere.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Analytical chemistry (31.47%)
  • Inorganic chemistry (29.48%)
  • Photochemistry (17.93%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Inorganic chemistry (29.48%)
  • Analytical chemistry (31.47%)
  • Methanesulfonic acid (6.37%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Inorganic chemistry, Analytical chemistry, Methanesulfonic acid, Aerosol and Trimethylamine. Her work carried out in the field of Inorganic chemistry brings together such families of science as Ammonia, Photodissociation, Ozone, Aqueous solution and Amine gas treating. In the field of Ozone, her study on Ozonide overlaps with subjects such as Reaction rate constant.

Her studies deal with areas such as Ionization, Ambient ionization and Chemical ionization as well as Analytical chemistry. Her work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry and Ozonolysis, which intersect with Aerosol. Her Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Sulfur dioxide and Particulates.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Integrating phase and composition of secondary organic aerosol from the ozonolysis of α-pinene (87 citations)
  • Reactions of Methanesulfonic Acid with Amines and Ammonia as a Source of New Particles in Air. (55 citations)
  • Role of the reaction of stabilized Criegee intermediates with peroxy radicals in particle formation and growth in air (51 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Hydrogen

Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts mainly focuses on Inorganic chemistry, Methanesulfonic acid, Methylamine, Trimethylamine and Aerosol. Her Inorganic chemistry research includes themes of Hydrogen sulfide, Dimethyl trisulfide, Aqueous solution and Hydroxyl radical. Her research integrates issues of Sulfuric acid and Water vapor in her study of Methanesulfonic acid.

Her Aerosol research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental chemistry, Particulates, Ozone and Infrared spectroscopy. Her Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Airshed, Environmental engineering, Sulfur, Volume and Characterization. Her research investigates the connection between Ozone and topics such as Analytical chemistry that intersect with issues in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
