John H. Seinfeld is a notable American atmospheric chemist and environmental engineer. He was a professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and made significant contributions to the field of atmospheric science.
He developed the first large-scale urban air pollution model, which was applied to the Los Angeles basin. This work, published in three papers in the journal Atmospheric Environment, initiated a new field of scientific research devoted to the modeling of tropospheric pollution
Seinfeld and his team developed a mathematical model to simulate atmospheric pollution. The model is now widely used by scientists and policymakers to understand and control air pollution.
Seinfeld and his colleagues developed a method to measure the size and composition of atmospheric aerosols. Their method, known as the aerosol mass spectrometer, revolutionized the study of atmospheric aerosols.
Seinfeld was awarded the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement for his contributions to the field of atmospheric chemistry. His research has had a significant impact on our understanding of air pollution and its effects on human health and the environment.
