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 …

A workshop was held in the framework of the ACCENT (Atmospheric Composition Change–
a European Network) Joint Research Programme on" Aerosols" and the Programme on" …

The oxidation of organics in aerosol particles affects the physical properties of aerosols
through a process known as aging. Atmospheric particles compose a huge set of specific …

Aerosols and clouds play central roles in atmospheric chemistry and physics, climate, air
pollution, and public health. The mechanistic understanding and predictability of aerosol …

While particles have significant deleterious impacts on human health, visibility and climate,
quantitative understanding of their formation, composition and fates remains problematic …

Oxidative potential (OP), which is the ability of certain components in atmospheric particles
to generate reactive oxidative species (ROS) and deplete antioxidants in vivo, is a prevailing …

Although it is known that soot particles are emitted in large quantities to the atmosphere, our
understanding of their environmental effects is limited by our knowledge of how their …

Background. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from combustion sources are
known to be mutagenic, with more potent species also being carcinogenic. Previous studies …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment are of significant concerns due
to their high toxicity to human health. PAHs measurements at limited air quality monitoring …

Heterogeneous chemistry of the most important atmospheric oxidants, O3, NO3, and OH,
plays a central role in regulating atmospheric gas concentrations, processing aerosols, and …
