Emissions of anthropogenic air pollutants in East Asia significantly influence the regional
climate, cause environmental deterioration and threaten public health. Single particle …

Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of aerosol particles
and also plays indispensable roles in many other scientific and technical fields. A myriad of …

Aerosols have always been part of the atmosphere, and plant surfaces are a major aerosol
sink. Given the nutrient content of aerosols and the natural stability of aerosol concentrations …

Aerosol particles in the atmosphere exert a strong influence on climate by interacting with
sunlight and by initiating cloud formation. Because the tropospheric aerosol is a …

There is need to identify and quantify the contribution of different sources to airborne
particulate matter (PM) emissions from animal houses. To this end, we compared the …

Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors can be widely deployed to measure aerosol
concentrations at higher spatial and temporal resolutions than traditional instruments, but …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation is a physical chemistry process of critical relevance to a
range of topics in the fundamental and applied sciences and technologies. Heterogeneous …

The water uptake behavior of atmospheric aerosol dictates their climate effects. In many
studies, aerosol particles are deposited onto solid substrates to measure water uptake; …

Millions of tons of fungal spores are dispersed in the atmosphere every year. These living
cells, along with plant spores and pollen grains, may act as nuclei for condensation of water …

This book provides an overview of the state of the art in this rapidly developing field.
Chapters in the book are arranged in order of decreasing wavelength of the light/electrons …
