This review aims to update our understanding on molecular distributions of water-soluble
dicarboxylic acids and related compounds in atmospheric aerosols with a focus on their …

Knowledge of the physical characteristics and chemical composition of marine organic
aerosols is needed for the quantification of their effects on solar radiation transfer and cloud …

Light-absorbing organic aerosols, known as brown carbon (BrC), counteract the overall
cooling effect of aerosols on Earth's climate. The spatial and temporal dynamics of their light …

High loadings of anthropogenic carbonaceous aerosols in Chinese air influence the air
quality for over one billion people and impact the regional climate. A large fraction (17–80%) …

Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is the largest known slow-cycling organic carbon pool in the
world's oceans. Atmospheric deposition could significantly contribute to the oceanic DBC …

Heterogeneous reactions of amines have been recently shown to play an important role in
the formation and transformation of atmospheric aerosols. This perspective summarizes the …

Incomplete understanding of the sources of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) leads to large
uncertainty in both air quality management and in climate change assessment. Chemical …

The dual carbon isotope signatures and optical properties of carbonaceous aerosols have
been investigated simultaneously for the first time in the South Asian outflow during an …

Rising levels of air-borne suspended particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm
(PM 2.5) in the Asian mega cities is a serious cause of concern. A severe SMOG (smoke+ …

Aerosol (TSP) samples were collected at the summit of Mount Tai (elevation: 1534 m asl,
36.25° N, 117.10° E) located in the North China Plain using a high-volume air sampler and …
