TL;DR: In this paper, the water-soluble organic fingerprint of ambient particles collected onto conventional quartz filters, which are routinely sampled at many air quality sites, was applied to 256 particulate matter (PM) filter samples (PM1, PM2, and PM10) collected at 16 urban and rural sites during summer and winter.

TL;DR: The first quantification of the entire PBOACOARSE mass and its main sources is presented by analyzing size-segregated filter samples collected during the summer and winter at the rural site of Payerne (Switzerland), representing a continental Europe background environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to detect acetic acid at the ice surface at 230-240 K under atmospheric conditions for the first time.

TL;DR: It is found that the surface of the frozen solution, depending on the temperature, consists of ice and different NaCl phases, that is, NaCl,NaCl·2H(2)O, and surface-adsorbed water.

TL;DR: In this article, the water uptake and release in submicrometer sized particles on a substrate enclosed in a microreactor were investigated using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), a microscopy method which allows imaging with a spatial resolution of 40 nm.
