About
Okisha Hammond is an environmental scientist whose research advances the measurement and understanding of particulate matter in air quality monitoring. Her work focuses on gravimetric analysis and optical carbon characterization, critical for tracking adherence to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Hammond’s most cited study (30 citations) evaluates the mass absorption cross-section method for estimating black carbon from Teflon filter media, demonstrating a cost-effective approach that accounts for light-scattering species like crustal elements. She also led a key study (9 citations) on the performance of robotic weighing systems for gravimetric mass measurements, establishing quality practices essential for accurate particulate matter reporting under the Clean Air Act. These contributions support state and local agencies in monitoring pollution and protecting public health. Hammond’s work bridges laboratory methodology and regulatory compliance, providing practical tools for air quality networks. Her research has been instrumental in improving the reliability of filter-based carbon analysis and automated weighing systems, making her a notable figure in environmental monitoring science.
