Monitoring of air pollutants and their analysis for chemistry\/transport modelling is my primordial interest. My research findings could also be referred to the policy framework and implementation of mitigation strategies for city\/national scale air quality management. My prolonged career in atmospheric chemistry research has compelled me towards emerging environmental issues. With the emerging air pollution across the globe, I believe extensive work and innovation is required to tackle the emerging GHGs emission as big challenges, especially for countries of South Asia. I strongly believe that the answer to such challenges is in the environment itself. As a researcher, studying and identifying these solutions in the environment and utilizing them is my goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color:#c08e47\" class=\"has-inline-color\">ARAKI Hikaru<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:21% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"376\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/aakash-rihn.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/araki.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-724 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Research Associate, Research Institute for Humanity and Nature<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I am mainly&nbsp;engaged&nbsp;in tasks related to PM2.5 observation as a research associate in the Aakash Project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color:#c08e47\" class=\"has-inline-color\">NOSE Yasuko<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:26% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/aakash-rihn.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nose.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-685 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Administrative assistant, Research Institute for Humanity and Nature<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I am a secretary at RIHN.
