Conspectus The atmosphere is a key part of the earth system comprising myriad chemical
species in all basic forms of matter. Ubiquitous nano-and microscopic aerosol particles and …

Source-apportioned particle concentrations are necessary to properly evaluate the health
impacts of air pollution. In this study, a measurement station was established at an urban …

Atmospheric aerosols are complex with both inorganic and organic components. The
soluble inorganics can transition between aqueous and crystalline phases through …

The cloud condensation nuclei activation of sea spray aerosol (SSA) is tightly linked to the
hygroscopic properties of these particles and is defined by their physical and chemical …

The role of airborne nanoparticles in atmospheric chemistry and public health is largely
controlled by particle size, morphology, surface composition, and coating. Aerosol mass …

PROPHESY, a technique for the reconstruction of surface-depth profiles from X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy data, is introduced. The inversion methodology is based on a …

Uric acid particles contribute to kidney stones, and natural processes for the elimination of
stones depend on solute–solvent interactions. The process of uric acid dissolution has …

The formation of multicomponent aerosol particles from precursor solution droplets often
involves segregation and surface enrichment of the different solutes, resulting in non …

The phase transitions of calcium chloride between various hydrates and solid–liquid phase
transitions are common in many natural and industrial processes. Recent studies have …

The phase and mixing states of aerosol particles play an important role in controlling their
atmospheric aging processes. While numerous characterization techniques exist to detect …
