Anthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol
concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and …

Urban air pollution represents one of the greatest environmental challenges facing mankind
in the 21st century. 1, 2 Noticeably, many developing countries, such as China and India …

This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

Amines are emitted by a wide range of sources and are ubiquitous atmospheric organic
bases. Approximately 150 amines and about 30 amino acids have been identified in the …

New particle formation of liquid or solid nanoparticles from gas-phase precursors is a
decisive process in Earth's atmosphere and is considered one of the largest uncertainties in …

Aerosols have a strong, yet poorly quantified, effect on climate. The growth of the smallest
atmospheric particles from diameters in the nanometre range to sizes at which they may act …

We present laboratory studies and field observations that explore the role of aminium salt
formation in atmospheric nanoparticle growth. These measurements were performed using …

Atmospheric aerosol particles influence global climate as well as impair air quality through
their effects on atmospheric visibility and human health. Ultrafine (< 100 nm) particles often …

We have studied the hydration of sulfuric acid–ammonia and sulfuric acid–dimethylamine
clusters using quantum chemistry. We calculated the formation energies and …

Atmospheric new particle formation significantly affects global climate and air quality after
newly formed particles grow above∼ 50 nm. In polluted urban atmospheres with 1–3 orders …
