Satya S. Patra's research examines air quality and human exposure to airborne particles, especially very small (nanoscale) particles released indoors from everyday sources like candles, wax melts, hair styling tools, and cooking or heating appliances. The work also covers outdoor air pollution, traffic-related emissions, low-cost sensor technology for monitoring air quality and transportation systems, and some public-health-related analyses connected to COVID-19 and air pollution's health impacts. Overall, the research combines environmental measurement techniques with practical questions about how pollution affects people in homes, streets, and cities.
