Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) are formed in the atmosphere via autoxidation
involving peroxy radicals arising from volatile organic compounds (VOC). HOM condense on …

Anthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol
concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and …

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Multiphase chemistry plays a vital role in the Earth system, climate, and health. Chemical
reactions, mass transport, and phase transitions between gases, liquids, and solids are …

1. INTRODUCTION Atmospheric aerosols play a key role in the Earth's atmosphere.
Aerosols influence cloud formation and their lifetime, they affect the distribution and amount …

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood
atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has …

The Earth's atmosphere offers a striking contrast with other known planets by its rich organic
composition, which results almost exclusively from the presence of life on the planet. About …

Atmospheric aerosols formed by nucleation of vapors affect radiative forcing and therefore
climate. However, the underlying mechanisms of nucleation remain unclear, particularly the …

Gas-phase autoxidation—regenerative peroxy radical formation following intramolecular
hydrogen shifts—is known to be important in the combustion of organic materials. The …

The formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from the oxidation of β-pinene via nitrate
radicals is investigated in the Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (GTEC) facility. Aerosol …
