Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the largest natural source of aerosols in the troposphere, and
has profound potential significance for climate change, visibility, and human health. It has …

Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning
modify Earth's climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through …

Despite increasing alarms over the health impacts of microplastics (MPs) due to their
detection in human organs and feces, precise exposure evaluations remain scarce. To …

Partitioning gaseous water-soluble organic compounds (WSOC) to the aerosol phase is a
major formation pathway of atmospheric secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, the …

Black carbon aerosols absorb radiation and their absorptive strength is influenced by
particle mixing structures and coating compositions. Liquid-liquid phase separation can …

Biomass burning events emit large amounts of phenolic compounds, which are oxidized in
the atmosphere and form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Using the poke-flow technique …

Iron (Fe) in aerosol particles is a major external source of micronutrients for marine
ecosystems, and poses a potential threat to human health. To understand these impacts of …

Surfactants are surface-active molecules or ions that can often be found at the surface of
atmospheric aerosol particles. Some surfactants, such as biomolecules in marine aerosol …

Aerosol hygroscopic behavior plays a central role in determining climate effects and
environmental influence of atmospheric particulates. Water-soluble organic acids (WSOAs) …

Soot particles play an important role in warming the atmosphere, but their optical absorption
is highly uncertain due to their variable morphology and mixing states. Compared to short …
