Donald Blake studies the atmospheric gases that can affect urban air quality, climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion. Part of his research focuses on highly polluted cities throughout the world, where he has found unexpected sources of urban pollution, such as emissions of liquefied petroleum gas from home fuel tanks. Blake's study of chronic air pollution that chokes Mexico City helped find solutions to the pressing problem. Blake, professor of chemistry, has published more than 270 scientific papers on atmospheric chemistry. Contact Blake at 949-824-4195 or drblake@uci.edu.
