Organic peroxides (POs) are organic molecules with one or more peroxide (− O–O−)
functional groups. POs are commonly regarded as chemically labile termination products …

Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) are formed in the atmosphere via autoxidation
involving peroxy radicals arising from volatile organic compounds (VOC). HOM condense on …

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

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 …

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 …

Nucleation and growth of aerosol particles from atmospheric vapors constitutes a major
source of global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). The fraction of newly formed particles …

Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) contribute substantially to the formation and
growth of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect air quality, human health and Earth's …

Gas-phase autoxidation of organics can generate highly oxygenated organic molecules
(HOMs) and thus increase secondary organic aerosol production and enable new-particle …

Nucleation of atmospheric vapours produces more than half of global cloud condensation
nuclei and so has an important influence on climate. Recent studies show that monoterpene …

The large concentrations of ultrafine particles consistently observed at high altitudes over
the tropics represent one of the world's largest aerosol reservoirs, which may be providing a …
