The diverse components, sources, and concentration levels of pollutants in the atmosphere
pose significant challenges to understanding the complex formation processes of …

Rapid warming in the Arctic has a huge impact on the global environment. Atmospheric
brown carbon (BrC) is one of the least understood and uncertain warming agents due to a …

Atmospheric trace elements, especially metal species, are an emerging environmental and
health concern with insufficient understanding of their levels and sources in Shanghai, the …

Brown carbon (BrC) aerosols exert vital impacts on climate change and atmospheric
photochemistry due to their light absorption in the wavelength range from near-ultraviolet …

Cooking organic aerosol (COA) is an important source of particulate pollutants in urbanized
regions. Yet, the diversity and complexity of COA components make direct identification and …

In this review, we cover selected research on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation
from isoprene, from the beginning of research, about two decades ago, to today. The review …

Molecular markers in ambient organic aerosol (OA) provide highly specific source
information. Their traditional quantification is based on offline analysis of filter samples, and …

Identification of various emission sources and quantification of their contributions comprise
an essential step in formulating scientifically sound pollution control strategies. Most …

Carbonaceous aerosols affect atmospheric radiation and visibility and endanger human
health. Administrative border and topography have created significant research interests …

Elemental concentrations of ambient aerosols are commonly sampled over 12–24 h, and the
low time resolution puts a great limit on current understanding about the temporal variations …
