Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by biogenic and anthropogenic sources
undergo complex reactions with atmospheric oxidants to generate low-volatility organic …

Although many organic molecules commonly found in the atmosphere are known to be
surface-active in macroscopic aqueous solutions, the impact of surface partitioning of …

Organic material density is a fundamental parameter in aerosol science, yet direct
measurement is not readily available. This study investigates density and elemental ratios of …

The formation of atmospheric cloud droplets due to secondary organic aerosol (SOA)
particles is important for quantifying the Earth's radiative balance under future, possibly …

Polycatechol and polyguaiacol are light-absorbing and water-insoluble particles that
efficiently form from iron-catalyzed reactions with aromatic compounds from biomass …

In this work, we studied the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity and subsaturated
droplet growth of phthalic acid (PTA), isophthalic acid,(IPTA) and terephthalic acid (TPTA) …

It is well known that atmospheric aerosol size and composition impact air quality, climate,
and health. The aerosol composition is typically a mixture and consists of a wide range of …

The hygroscopic growth factor (GF) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles produced during dark ozonolysis of γ-terpinene …

Organic aerosol can adopt a wide range of viscosities, from liquid to glass, depending on the
local humidity. In highly viscous droplets, the evaporation rates of organic components are …

Secondary organic aerosol components (SOA) contribute significantly to the activation of
cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the atmosphere. The CCN activity of internally mixed …
