Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly develo** (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are aerosols with an aerodynamic diameter of 0.1 µm (100 nm) or
less. There is a growing concern in the public health community about the contribution of …

This review focuses on the observed characteristics of atmospheric new particle formation
(NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere. After a short introduction, we will …

New particle formation (NPF) represents the first step in the complex processes leading to
formation of cloud condensation nuclei. Newly formed nanoparticles affect human health, air …

INTRODUCTION Human-made emissions of particulate air pollution can offset part of the
warming induced by emissions of greenhouse gases, by enhancing low-level clouds that …

Aerosols have significant and complex impacts on regional climate in East Asia. Cloud‐
aerosol‐precipitation interactions (CAPI) remain most challenging in climate studies. The …

Rainwater dissolves urban air contaminants that threaten sustainable urbanization and
human health. Tracing rainwater contamination supports urban management and …

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) can affect cloud properties and therefore Earth's radiative
balance,–. New particle formation (NPF) from condensable vapours in the free troposphere …

High levels of ultrafine particles (UFPs; diameter of less than 50 nm) are frequently produced
from new particle formation under urban conditions, with profound implications on human …
