Delbert Eatough
Dr. Eatough is a Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Brigham Young University. He received a B.S. degree from Brigham Young University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Brigham Young University in 1967. He is the recipient of the following awards: (1) NDEA Predoctoral Fellow 1964-1967; (2) 1980 BYU Research Award; (3) 1980 Calorimetry Conference First Sunner Memorial Award; (4) 1986 Brigham Young University Maeser Research and Creative Arts Award; and (5) 1993 American Chemical Society Utah Award in Chemistry.
Dr. Eatough’s research emphasis is on the study of the atmospheric chemistry of anthropogenic emissions. Current or recent studies include identification of the chemistry of sulfur and nitrogen oxides in polluted atmospheres, the chemical characterization of organic particulate matter as a function of particle size using diffusion denuder technology, chemical characterization of visibility impairing aerosols, development of light extinction budgets, source apportionment of both indoor and outdoor pollution, and development of analytical techniques for sampling atmospheric fine particulate matter and studying atmospheric chemistry. His total publications number over 300. Dr Eatough’s recent and current professional service include: (1) Air and Waste Management Association Technical Committees on Atmospheric Chemistry, (Chair, Particles, 1994–1996), Visibility and Indoor Air Source Characterization; (2) Chair of the Basic Sciences Section of the AWMA Technical Council (2000-2002) and Vice-Chair of Technical Council (2002 to present); (3) General Chair of the 1994 Aerosols and Atmospheric Optics International Specialty Conference; (4) Program Co-Chair for the 2000 Annual AWMA Meeting; (5) Chair for an AWMA/EPA Jan 2000 PM and Health Specialty Conference); (6) Member of Editorial Boards of Aerosol Research & Technology, Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association, and Advances in Environ Res.; and (6) former member of the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) committee on Environmental Tobacco Smoke.
