Aerosols produced from the oxidation of volatile/semi-volatile organic compounds
(VOCs/SVOCs), known as secondary organic aerosol (SOA), account for a significant …

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

Emitted by numerous primary sources and formed by secondary sources, atmospheric
brown carbon (BrC) aerosol is chemically complex. As BrC aerosol ages in the atmosphere …

The importance of organic aerosol particles in the environment has been long established,
influencing cloud formation and lifetime, absorbing and scattering sunlight, affecting …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a large fraction of submicron particles in the
atmosphere. SOA can occur in amorphous solid or semi-solid phase states depending on …

The formation and aging mechanism of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and its influencing
factors have attracted increasing attention in recent years because of their effects on climate …

Hygroscopic growth and cloud condensation nuclei activation are key processes for
accurately modeling the climate impacts of organic particulate matter. Nevertheless, the …

Volatility and viscosity are important properties of organic aerosols (OA), affecting aerosol
processes such as formation, evolution, and partitioning of OA. Volatility distributions of …

Organic aerosols can exist in highly viscous or glassy phase states. A viscosity database for
organic compounds with atmospherically relevant functional groups is compiled and …

Aerosol-cloud interactions remain uncertain in assessing climate change. While
anthropogenic activities produce copious aerosol nanoparticles smaller than 10 …
