The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is formed from the atmospheric oxidation of gas-phase
organic compounds leading to the formation of particle mass. Gasoline-and diesel-powered …

Civil aviation is fast-growing (about+ 5% every year), mainly driven by the developing
economies and globalisation. Its impact on the environment is heavily debated, particularly …

NO x lifetime relates nonlinearly to its own concentration; therefore, by observing how NO x
lifetime changes with changes in its concentration, inferences can be made about the …

The present paper reviews existing knowledge with regard to Organic Aerosol (OA) of
importance for global climate modelling and defines critical gaps needed to reduce the …

This comprehensive text describes the atmospheric processes, numerical methods, and
computational techniques required for a scientist to successfully study air pollution and …

We discuss the use of a two-dimensional volatility-oxidation space (2-D-VBS) to describe
organic-aerosol chemical evolution. The space is built around two coordinates, volatility and …

The enormous number of commensal bacteria in the lower intestine of vertebrates share
abundant molecular patterns used for innate immune recognition of pathogenic bacteria. We …

An equation that can successfully parameterize gas-particle partitioning is K p (m 3 μg−
1)=(F/TSP)/A, where K p is a partitioning constant, TSP (μg m− 3) is the concentration of total …

Most primary organic-particulate emissions are semivolatile; thus, they partially evaporate
with atmospheric dilution, creating substantial amounts of low-volatility gas-phase material …
