Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of considerable concern due to their well-
recognised toxicity and especially due to the carcinogenic hazard which they present. PAHs …

Progress has been made over the past decade in predicting secondary organic aerosol
(SOA) mass in the atmosphere using vapor pressure-driven partitioning, which implies that …

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 …

As part of the European contribution to the Large‐Scale Atmosphere‐Biosphere Experiment
in Amazonia (LBA‐EUSTACH), aerosols were sampled at representative pasture and …

Particulate matter (PM) has become a major research issue receiving increasing attention
because of its significant negative impact on human health. There are main indicators that …

We carried out a detailed size‐resolved chemical characterization of particle emissions from
the combustion of European conifer species, savanna grass, African hardwood, and German …

While the formation pathways and thermodynamic properties of inorganic species (eg,
sulphate) in atmospheric aerosols are well understood, many more uncertainties exist about …

The chemical composition of aerosols has been determined in 30 size-resolved samples
collected using a Berner low-pressure impactor during two campaigns conducted at a …

The results from a 1-year measurement period concerning the diurnal PM2. 5 and PM10
organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC) concentrations are presented for a traffic …

The OH radical is the most important oxidant in both the tropospheric gas and aqueous
phase. Its main sink processes in clouds appear to be reactions with organics but due to the …
