TL;DR: The time evolution strongly suggests that neglected oxidation of numerous "intermediate volatility" vapors (IVOCs, with saturation concentrations above approximately 1 mg m(-3)) may contribute significantly to ambient SOA formation.

TL;DR: The analysis shows nucleation on 50% of the study days and regional-scale formation of ultrafine particles on 30% of those days as discussed by the authors, and observed nucleation events ranged from weak events with only a slight increase in the particle number to relatively intense events with increases of total particle counts between 50,000 cm−3 up to 150,000cm−3.

TL;DR: Investigation of the chemistry of ultrafine particles during the growth phase of the frequently observed nucleation events in Pittsburgh to infer the mechanisms of new particle growth in the urban troposphere indicates that secondary organic species contribute significantly to the growth of particles at a relatively later time of the event.

TL;DR: In this article, 12 months of aerosol size distributions from 3 to 560 nm, measured using scanning mobility particle sizers are presented with an emphasis on average number, surface, and volume distributions, and seasonal and diurnal variation.

TL;DR: Results of the economic losses assessments suggest that the haze in January 2013 might lead to 253.8 million US$ losses, accounting for 0.08% (95% CI: (0.05%, 0.1%) of the total 2013 annual gross domestic product (GDP) of Beijing.
