Life on Earth comes in many forms, but all life-forms share a common element in carbon. It is
the basic building block of biology, and by trapping radiation it also plays an important role …

Organic aerosols (OAs) account typically for 20–90% of fine particles (PM 2.5) in the lower
troposphere. They contribute to a wide range of environmental problems, from local issues …

Air pollution and related wet deposition process (rainfall) caused environmental hazards
under the climate change, particularly in urban regions, attracting global concern and …

Rainwater brings considerable amounts of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from atmosphere
to freshwater and marine environments, but little is known about the chemical composition …

Atmospheric chemists have historically treated leaves as inert surfaces that merely emit
volatile hydrocarbons. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that leaves are …

In California, the majority of office and other nondomestic buildings use mechanical cooling
and ventilation even when an optimized natural ventilation (NV) system could meet cooling …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a ubiquitous group of organic compounds in rainwater
that plays vital roles in the biogeochemical cycle. However, little is known about its chemical …

Rates of atmospheric deposition are declining across the United States, yet urban areas
remain hotspots of atmospheric deposition. While past studies show elevated rates of …

Interactions between chemodiverse dissolved organic matter (DOM) and biodiverse
microbes are governed by a myriad of intrinsic and extrinsic factors which are not well …

Health risks of typical benzene series and halocarbons (BSHs) in a densely populated area
