Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning
modify Earth's climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through …

Heavy metals are a common class of toxic contaminants in soil, water and air, yet their
occurrence in indoor environments is less known. Heavy metals enter people's bodies …

Soot particles strongly absorb sunlight and hence act as a short-lived warming agent.
Atmospheric aging of soot particles changes their morphology and mixing state and …

A large fraction of secondary aerosol particles are liquid–liquid phase-separated with an
organic shell and an inorganic core. This has the potential to regulate the hygroscopicity of …

Aerosol pollution in eastern China is an unfortunate consequence of the region's rapid
economic and industrial growth. Here, sun photometer measurements from seven sites in …

Extensive research has been done on the processes that lead to the formation of secondary
organic aerosol (SOA) including the atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds …

Aerosol ultra-fine and nano-particles are playing essential roles in the evolution of the Earth
environment because of their deep connections to the chemical conversions and solar …

Black carbon (BC) strongly absorbs solar radiation, contributing to global warming.
Absorption enhancement of BC particles is difficult to quantify due to an inadequate …

Despite significant improvements in air quality in recent years, the Sichuan Basin (SCB) is
still facing frequent haze pollution in winter, and the causes of severe haze formation have …

According to atmospheric modeling and satellite observations, cold fronts can cause trans‐
regional transport (TRT) of haze particles from the North China Plain (NCP) to Yangtze River …
