The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is formed from the atmospheric oxidation of gas-phase
organic compounds leading to the formation of particle mass. Gasoline-and diesel-powered …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric
aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is …

Major components of suspended particulate matter (PM) are inorganic ions, organic matter
(OM), elemental carbon (EC), geological minerals, salt, non-mineral elements, and water …

Amines are emitted by a wide range of sources and are ubiquitous atmospheric organic
bases. Approximately 150 amines and about 30 amino acids have been identified in the …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA), particulate matter composed of compounds formed from
the atmospheric transformation of organic species, accounts for a substantial fraction of …

The Earth's atmosphere offers a striking contrast with other known planets by its rich organic
composition, which results almost exclusively from the presence of life on the planet. About …

As the key for haze control, atmospheric fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter<
2.5 μm (or PM 2.5) is of great concern lately in China. It is closely linked to fast pace of …

Oceans cover over two-thirds of the Earth's surface, and the particles emitted to the
atmosphere by waves breaking on sea surfaces provide an important contribution to the …

Knowledge of the physical characteristics and chemical composition of marine organic
aerosols is needed for the quantification of their effects on solar radiation transfer and cloud …
