About
Paige Presler-Jur is a leading expert in atmospheric aerosol measurement and air quality monitoring, with a focus on improving the accuracy and efficiency of gravimetric and optical analysis methods. Her work addresses critical challenges in quantifying particulate matter and black carbon—key pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. In her highly cited 2017 study (30 citations), she developed and evaluated a method to estimate black carbon mass absorption cross-section using archived Teflon filters, demonstrating a cost-effective, rapid approach that accounts for light-scattering interference from crustal elements. This innovation enables researchers to leverage historical filter samples for new insights into carbonaceous aerosols. Presler-Jur also advanced laboratory practices with her 2016 work on robotic weighing systems, establishing quality protocols that enhance the precision and reproducibility of gravimetric mass measurements essential for compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Her contributions bridge the gap between routine monitoring and cutting-edge aerosol science, providing practical tools for state and local agencies. By combining rigorous methodology with real-world applicability, Presler-Jur has strengthened the foundation of air quality assessment, enabling more accurate tracking of pollution trends and public health impacts.
