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 …

The recent development in measurement techniques and theoretical understanding has
enabled us to study atmospheric vapor, cluster and nanoparticle concentrations, dynamics …

For atmospheric sulfuric acid (SA) concentrations the presence of dimethylamine (DMA) at
mixing ratios of several parts per trillion by volume can explain observed boundary layer …

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

Heterogeneous reactions of amines have been recently shown to play an important role in
the formation and transformation of atmospheric aerosols. This perspective summarizes the …

Field observations and quantum chemical calculations suggest that amines can be
important for formation of nanometer size particles. Amines and ammonia often have …

New particle formation (NPF) from gaseous precursors as a significant source of aerosol
needs to be better understood to accurately predict the impacts on visibility, climate change …

The impact of organic species which are present in the Earth's atmosphere on the burst of
new particles is critically important for the understanding of the molecular nature of …
