Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …
1. INTRODUCTION Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a relatively inexpensive, nontoxic, and easy to handle material, which is of great interest, as evidenced by the wide number of applications …
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is …
In this study we compile and present results from the factor analysis of 43 Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) datasets (27 of the datasets are reanalyzed in this work). The …
A recently developed method to rapidly quantify the elemental composition of bulk organic aerosols (OA) using a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF …
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 …
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) pollution has become a major health threat accompanying the rapid economic development in China. For decades, filter-based offline …
We present a new elemental analysis (EA) technique for organic species (CHNO) that allows fast on-line analysis (10 s) and reduces the required sample size to∼ 1 ng,∼ 6 …
