Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a significant source of global secondary
organic aerosol (SOA); however, quantifying their aerosol forming potential remains a …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) forms a major part of the tropospheric submicron aerosol.
Still, the exact formation mechanisms of SOA have remained elusive. Recently, a newly …

We measured a large suite of gas-and particle-phase multi-functional organic compounds
with a Filter Inlet for Gases and AEROsols (FIGAERO) coupled to a high-resolution time-of …

A variety of tools are used to simulate atmospheric aging, including smog chambers and
flow reactors. Traditional, large-scale smog chambers age emissions over the course of …

Field observations over the past decade indicate that a significant fraction of organic aerosol
in remote areas may contain highly oxidized molecules. Aerosol processing or further …

Oil-sands (OS) operations in Alberta, Canada, are a large source of secondary organic
aerosol (SOA). However, the SOA formation process from OS-related precursors remains …

Measurements of particle formation following the gas phase oxidation of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) emitted by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings are reported …

Aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHCs) and oxygenated aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHC–OHs) are
emitted from a variety of anthropogenic activities and are important precursors of secondary …

A recently developed algorithm (Zhang et al., 2005) has been applied to deconvolve the
mass spectra of organic aerosols acquired with the Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) in …

Numerous laboratory experiments have been performed in an attempt to mimic atmospheric
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. However, it is still unclear how close the …
