Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular understanding of sulphuric acid-amine particle nucleation in the atmosphere

Joao Almeida, +85 more
- 17 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results show that, in regions of the atmosphere near amine sources, both amines and sulphur dioxide should be considered when assessing the impact of anthropogenic activities on particle formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of low-volatility organic compounds in initial particle growth in the atmosphere

Jasmin Tröstl, +90 more
- 26 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that organic vapours alone can drive nucleation, and a particle growth model is presented that quantitatively reproduces the measurements and implements a parameterization of the first steps of growth in a global aerosol model that can change substantially in response to concentrations of atmospheric cloud concentration nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidation products of biogenic emissions contribute to nucleation of atmospheric particles.

TL;DR: It is shown, in experiments performed with the CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber at CERN, that sulfuric acid and oxidized organic vapors at atmospheric concentrations reproduce particle nucleation rates observed in the lower atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular understanding of atmospheric particle formation from sulfuric acid and large oxidized organic molecules

TL;DR: High-resolution mass spectra of ion clusters observed during new particle formation experiments performed at the Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets chamber at the European Organization for Nuclear Research confirm that oxidized organics are involved in both the formation and growth of particles under ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of acid-base clustering and ions on the growth of atmospheric nano-particles

Katrianne Lehtipalo, +82 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied nano-particle growth in the Clouds Leaving OUtdoors Droplets (CLOUD) chamber, starting from the formation of molecular clusters and found that atmospheric ions and small acid-base clusters, which are not generally accounted for in the measurement of sulphuric acid vapour, can participate in the growth process.
