Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

Elemental-, equivalent black-and refractory black-carbon are terms that have been defined
in order to dissect the more general term, black carbon, into its component parts related to its …

The optical properties of the light-absorbing, carbonaceous substance often called
“soot,”“black carbon,” or “carbon black" have been the subject of some debate. These …

This comprehensive text describes the atmospheric processes, numerical methods, and
computational techniques required for a scientist to successfully study air pollution and …

Early indicators for nanoparticle-derived adverse health effects should provide a relative
measure for cytotoxicity of nanomaterials in comparison to existing toxicological data. We …

Different on-line submicron particle sizing techniques report different “equivalent diameters.”
For example, differential mobility analyzers (DMAs) report electrical mobility diameter (dm) …

Aerosol particles are ubiquitous in the troposphere and exert an important influence on
global climate and the environment. They affect climate through scattering, transmission …

Individual aerosol particles in smoke plumes from biomass fires and in regional hazes in
southern Africa were studied using analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM) …

To date, global models of direct radiative forcing have treated elemental carbon (EC) as
completely externally mixed or well‐mixed internally. No global study has treated EC as a …

Size, morphology and microstructure of Palas soot, Diesel soot and of Diesel
soot/ammonium sulfate mixtures were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) …
