The Earth's atmosphere offers a striking contrast with other known planets by its rich organic
composition, which results almost exclusively from the presence of life on the planet. About …

To better understand the potential environmental and human health impacts of fine airborne
particulate matter (APM), detailed physical and chemical characterisation is required. The …

Estimating the aerosol contribution to the global or regional radiative forcing can take
advantage of the relationship between the spectral aerosol optical properties and the size …

To characterize the features of particle pollution, continuous measurements of particle
number size distributions and chemical compositions were performed at an urban site in …

Single-particle mixing state information can be a powerful tool for assessing the relative
impact of local and regional sources of ambient particulate matter in urban environments …

A systematic study of black carbon (BC) vertical profiles measured at high-resolution over
three Italian basin valleys (Terni Valley, Po Valley and Passiria Valley) is presented. BC …

Soil dust particles emitted from agricultural areas contain considerable mass fractions of
organic material. Also, soil dust particles may act as carriers for potentially ice‐active …

The morphology of aerosol particles impacts their role in the climate system. In the
submicron size regime, the morphology of particles that undergo liquid–liquid phase …

Growing evidence suggests that the size-resolved mixing state of carbon-containing
particles is very critical in determining their optical properties, atmospheric lifetime, and …

Characterizing intracity variations of atmospheric particulate matter has mostly relied on
fixed-site monitoring and quantifying variability in terms of different bulk aerosol species. In …
