OUR RESEARCH

Welcome to Laboratory for Mass Spectrometry and Atmospheric Environment in Yokohama City University! Our group is interested in “atmosphere”, a crucial factor to maintain ecosystem in the earth. Many organisms are exposed by the atmosphere all through their life via breathing, and therefore, the atmosphere has a great impact on organisms. We study various gas-phase chemistry in ambient air using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry, which can contribute to further understand atmospheric chemistry and environmental sciences.

  • RESEARCH THEME 1

    Measurements of volatile organic compounds emitted from natural and mam-made sources to understand various chemical reactions in the atmosphere

  • RESEARCH THEME 2

    Study of various ion-molecule reactions in gas phase

  • RESEARCH THEME 3

    Development of ambient ionization mass spectrometry
