Organic peroxides (POs) are organic molecules with one or more peroxide (− O–O−)
functional groups. POs are commonly regarded as chemically labile termination products …

Influenza incidence and seasonality, along with virus survival and transmission, appear to
depend at least partly on humidity, and recent studies have suggested that absolute …

Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are a large source of uncertainty in our current
understanding of climate change and air pollution. The phase state of SOA is important for …

1. BACKGROUND 1.1. Why Condensed Matter Matters: Types and Significance of
Condensed Matter and Surfaces Encountered in the Atmospheric Environment The …

Multiphase chemistry plays a vital role in the Earth system, climate, and health. Chemical
reactions, mass transport, and phase transitions between gases, liquids, and solids are …

The detailed physico-chemical characteristics of respiratory droplets in ambient air, where
they are subject to evaporation, are poorly understood. Changes in the concentration and …

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

Particle water and pH are predicted using meteorological observations (relative humidity
(RH), temperature (T)), gas/particle composition, and thermodynamic modeling (ISORROPIA …

Over the past decade, it has become clear that aqueous chemical processes occurring in
cloud droplets and wet atmospheric particles are an important source of organic …
