The review initiates with current state of information on the atmospheric reaction mechanism
of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and its fate in the atmosphere. The plants …

Surfactants are surface-active molecules or ions that can often be found at the surface of
atmospheric aerosol particles. Some surfactants, such as biomolecules in marine aerosol …

Emitted by numerous primary sources and formed by secondary sources, atmospheric
brown carbon (BrC) aerosol is chemically complex. As BrC aerosol ages in the atmosphere …

Optical characteristics and molecular compositions of brown carbon (BrC) were investigated
during winter 2019 at a rural site of China with a focus on nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs) …

Aqueous-phase reactions of α-dicarbonyls with ammonium or amines have been identified
as important sources of secondary brown carbon (BrC). However, the identities of most …

The reactions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) with surface-bound compounds on atmospheric
aerosols lead to the formation of organic sulfur (OS) compounds, thereby affecting the air …

Vanillin (VL), a phenolic aromatic carbonyl abundant in biomass burning emissions, forms
triplet excited states (3 VL∗) under simulated sunlight leading to aqueous secondary …

Aqueous-phase reactions of α-dicarbonyls with amines or ammonium have been identified
as important sources of secondary brown carbon (BrC). However, the kinetics of BrC …

Aromatic carbonyls have been mainly probed as photosensitizers for aqueous secondary
organic aerosol (aqSOA) and light-absorbing organic aerosol (ie, brown carbon or BrC) …

Abstract Aromatic carbonyls (eg, methoxybenzaldehydes), an important class of
photosensitizers, are abundant in the atmosphere. Photosensitization and nitrate-mediated …
