Sulfate aerosol is one of the major components of secondary fine particulate matter in urban
haze that has crucial impacts on the social economy and public health. Among the …

Abstract The North China Plain (NCP) is troubled by severe haze pollution and the evolution
of haze pollution is closely related to the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). However …

Aerosol particles can profoundly affect the local environment and global climate. Explosive
growths of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) are frequently observed during serious haze …

The characteristics of wintertime volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the North China
Plain (NCP) region are complicated and remain obscure. VOC measurements were …

A new global dataset of annually averaged ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations at the
Earth's surface for the years 2015–2017 has been developed through numerical simulations …

Hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS), a key marker species of aqueous-phase processing,
plays a significant role in sulfur budget in atmosphere. Here we have a comprehensive …

Sulfate aerosols are produced in China's winter haze at an unresolved rapid rate. Such fast
kinetics may arise from a heterogeneous SO2 conversion in urban aerosols, which differs …

Regional transport is a key source of carbonaceous aerosol in many Chinese megacities
including Bei**g. The sources of carbonaceous aerosol in urban areas have been studied …

Atmospheric processes, including both primary emissions and secondary formation, may
exert complex effects on aerosol hygroscopicity, which is of significant importance in …

Atmospheric aerosol particles can be coated with organic materials, impacting aerosol
atmospheric lifetime and urban air quality. Coatings of organic materials are also found on …
