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 …

Urban air pollution represents one of the greatest environmental challenges facing mankind
in the 21st century. 1, 2 Noticeably, many develo** countries, such as China and India …

Air quality is concerned with pollutants in both the gas phase and solid or liquid phases. The
latter are referred to as aerosols, which are multifaceted agents affecting air quality, weather …

This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

Severe haze events with exceedingly high-levels of fine aerosols occur frequently over the
past decades in the North China Plain (NCP), exerting profound impacts on human health …

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 …

Molecular clusters are ubiquitous constituents of the ambient atmosphere, that can grow into
larger sizes forming new aerosol particles. The formation and growth of small clusters into …

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 …

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

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 …
