| Abstract | In this project the research team will gather new laboratory and field observations of sulfur-containing compounds and bioaerosols that are expected to be emitted from an exceptionally large Sargassum brown algae bloom that is anticipated to reach Florida coastlines in June or July of 2023. It is expected that this year’s plume will be larger than in previous years and the accumulation of Sargassum on coastlines, called strandings, has the potential to negatively impact southern U.S. states’ coa |
