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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) by the nitrate radical (NO 3)
represents one of the important interactions between anthropogenic emissions related to …

Multiple linkages connect air quality and climate change. Many air pollutant sources also
emit carbon dioxide (CO2), the dominant anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG). The two …

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood
atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has …

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 …

Isoprene emitted by vegetation is an important precursor of secondary organic aerosol
(SOA), but the mechanism and yields are uncertain. Aerosol is prevailingly aqueous under …

Fundamental questions remain about the origin of newly formed atmospheric aerosol
particles because data from laboratory measurements have been insufficient to build global …
