Particle pH is a critical but poorly constrained quantity that affects many aerosol processes
and properties, including aerosol composition, concentrations, and toxicity. We assess PM1 …

The likely health and environmental implications associated with atmospheric nanoparticles
have prompted considerable recent research activity. Knowledge of the characteristics of …

The influence of air pollutants, especially aerosols, on regional and global climate has been
widely investigated, but only a very limited number of studies report their impacts on …

pH is a fundamental aerosol property that affects ambient particle concentration and
composition, linking pH to all aerosol environmental impacts. Here, PM 1 and PM 2. 5 pH …

The particulate matter pollution has been serious in Chinese megacities due to the rapidly
expanding economic and industrial developments, which has significant influences in …

Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of aerosol particles
