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

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 …

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 …

Forests emit large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. Their
condensable oxidation products can form secondary organic aerosol, a significant and …

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is known to inactivate various viruses and bacteria,
including SARS-CoV-2, and is widely applied especially in medical facilities. This …

Nucleation of aerosol particles from trace atmospheric vapours is thought to provide up to
half of global cloud condensation nuclei. Aerosols can cause a net cooling of climate by …

Atmospheric nucleation is the dominant source of aerosol particles in the global atmosphere
and an important player in aerosol climatic effects. The key steps of this process occur in the …

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 …

The environments in which we live, work, and play are subject to enormous variability in air
pollutant concentrations. To adequately characterize air quality (AQ), measurements must …

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 …
