This review focuses on the observed characteristics of atmospheric new particle formation
(NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere. After a short introduction, we will …

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 …

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

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …

A key challenge in aerosol pollution studies and climate change assessment is to
understand how atmospheric aerosol particles are initially formed,. Although new particle …

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 …

New particle formation has been estimated to produce around half of cloud‐forming particles
in the present‐day atmosphere, via gas‐to‐particle conversion. Here we assess the …

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 …

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) can affect cloud properties and therefore Earth's radiative
balance,–. New particle formation (NPF) from condensable vapours in the free troposphere …

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 …
