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 …

Secondary organic aerosol contributes a significant fraction to aerosol mass and toxicity.
Low-volatility organic vapours are critical intermediates connecting the oxidation of volatile …

Biogenic vapors form new particles in the atmosphere, affecting global climate. The
contributions of monoterpenes and isoprene to new particle formation (NPF) have been …

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important global phenomenon that is
nevertheless sensitive to ambient conditions. According to both observation and theoretical …

This review focuses on the observed characteristics of atmospheric new particle formation
(NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere. After a short introduction, we will …

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

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …

A list of authors and their affiliations appears at the end of the paper New-particle formation
is a major contributor to urban smog,, but how it occurs in cities is often puzzling. If the …

Atmospheric aerosols and their effect on clouds are thought to be important for
anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate, yet remain poorly understood. Globally …
