Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) are formed in the atmosphere via autoxidation
involving peroxy radicals arising from volatile organic compounds (VOC). HOM condense on …

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 …

Since the publication of the compilation of biomass burning emission factors by Andreae
and Merlet (2001), a large number of studies have greatly expanded the amount of available …

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important global phenomenon that is
nevertheless sensitive to ambient conditions. According to both observation and theoretical …

Atmospheric aerosols and their effect on clouds are thought to be important for
anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate, yet remain poorly understood. Globally …

Biogenic vapors form new particles in the atmosphere, affecting global climate. The
contributions of monoterpenes and isoprene to new particle formation (NPF) have been …

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 …

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 …

Homogeneous nucleation and subsequent cluster growth leads to the formation of new
aerosol particles in the atmosphere. The nucleation of sulfuric acid and organic vapours is …

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 …
