Aerosol particles in the atmosphere profoundly influence public health and climate. Ultrafine
particles enter the body through the lungs and can translocate to essentially all organs, and …

New particle formation of liquid or solid nanoparticles from gas-phase precursors is a
decisive process in Earth's atmosphere and is considered one of the largest uncertainties in …

Abstract In the central Arctic Ocean the formation of clouds and their properties are sensitive
to the availability of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). The vapors responsible for new …

Iodic acid (HIO3) is known to form aerosol particles in coastal marine regions, but predicted
nucleation and growth rates are lacking. Using the CERN CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving …

New particle formation in the Arctic atmosphere is an important source of aerosol particles.
Understanding the processes of Arctic secondary aerosol formation is crucial due to their …

New particle formation in the upper free troposphere is a major global source of cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN),,–. However, the precursor vapours that drive the process are …

The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4),
stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low …

Understanding the atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) process within the global
range is important for revealing the budget of atmospheric aerosols and their impacts. We …

Although the last several decades have seen a dramatic reduction in emissions from
vehicular exhaust, nonexhaust emissions (eg, brake and tire wear) represent an …

Aerosol particles are important for our global climate, but the mechanisms and especially the
relative importance of various vapors for new particles formation (NPF) remain uncertain …
