Aerosol ultra-fine and nano-particles are playing essential roles in the evolution of the Earth
environment because of their deep connections to the chemical conversions and solar …

Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning
modify Earth's climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through …

A large fraction of secondary aerosol particles are liquid–liquid phase-separated with an
organic shell and an inorganic core. This has the potential to regulate the hygroscopicity of …

Despite increasing alarms over the health impacts of microplastics (MPs) due to their
detection in human organs and feces, precise exposure evaluations remain scarce. To …

Black carbon aerosols absorb radiation and their absorptive strength is influenced by
particle mixing structures and coating compositions. Liquid-liquid phase separation can …

Surfactants are surface-active molecules or ions that can often be found at the surface of
atmospheric aerosol particles. Some surfactants, such as biomolecules in marine aerosol …

Aerosol hygroscopic behavior plays a central role in determining climate effects and
environmental influence of atmospheric particulates. Water-soluble organic acids (WSOAs) …

Organic peroxides (POs) are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and particularly reactive toward
dissolved sulfur dioxide (SO2), yet the reaction kinetics between POs and SO2, especially in …

Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) can exist in liquid, semi-solid, or amorphous solid
states. Chemical transport models (CTMs), however, usually assume that SOA particles are …

Recent satellite observations of atmospheric aerosol loading over Asia indicate a dipole
pattern in the aerosol optical depth (AOD) with a substantial decrease in AOD over East Asia …
