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

The importance of organic aerosol particles in the environment has been long established,
influencing cloud formation and lifetime, absorbing and scattering sunlight, affecting …

Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are a large source of uncertainty in our current
understanding of climate change and air pollution. The phase state of SOA is important for …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have toxic impacts on humans and ecosystems.
One of the most carcinogenic PAHs, benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), is efficiently bound to and …

Organic aerosol particles are known to often absorb/desorb water continuously with change
in gas phase relative humidity (RH) without crystallization. Indeed, the prevalence of …

Soot aggregates form as open, fractal-like structures, but aged atmospheric particles are
often observed to be restructured into more-compact shapes due to internal mixing …

Viscosity of monoterpene‐derived secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) as a function of
temperature and relative humidity (RH), and dry SOA glass transition temperatures are …

The viscosity of primary and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) has important implications for
the processing of aqueous organic aerosol phases in the atmosphere, their involvement in …

Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) that are emitted from industrial processes and
consumer products often dominate the burden of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in …

Recent studies have shown that instantaneous gas-particle equilibrium partitioning
assumptions fail to predict SOA formation, even at high relative humidity (∼ 85%), and …
