(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 …

Remarkable perturbations in the stratospheric abundances of chlorine species and ozone

The transmission of some infectious diseases requires that pathogens can survive (ie,
remain infectious) in the environment, outside the host. Relative humidity (RH) is known to …

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

Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning

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 …
