Air quality and particulate matter

Themes on publications are derived from each record’s title, not assigned by its authors. The rules are in data/research-themes.yaml and every tag records the term that produced it. Theses use the laboratory’s own “Area of Research” where it is specific enough. Four publications and one thesis match no theme and are deliberately left untagged.
