New particle formation in forests inhibited by isoprene emissions
Jürgen Wildt,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr,Miikka Dal Maso,Thorsten Hohaus,Einhard Kleist,Thomas F. Mentel,Ralf Tillmann,R. Uerlings,Andreas Wahner +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented from simulation experiments conducted in a plant chamber that isoprene can significantly inhibit new particle formation, and the process leading to the observed decrease in particle number concentration is linked to the high reactivity of isopane with the hydroxyl radical (OH).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud Condensation Nuclei properties of model and atmospheric HULIS
E. Dinar,I. Taraniuk,Ellen R. Graber,S. Katsman,Tamar Moise,Tatu Anttila,Thomas F. Mentel,Yinon Rudich +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the activation of aerosols containing atmospheric HULIS extracted from fresh, aged and pollution particles to activation of size fractionated fulvic acid from an aquatic source (Suwannee River Fulvic Acid), and correlated it to the estimated molecular weight and measured surface tension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary organic aerosol reduced by mixture of atmospheric vapours

Mentel,Juergen Wildt,Iida Pullinen,Iida Pullinen,Sungah Kang,Einhard Kleist,Sebastian Schmitt,Monika Springer,Ralf Tillmann,Cheng Wu,Cheng Wu,Defeng Zhao,Defeng Zhao,Mattias Hallquist,Cameron Faxon,Michael Le Breton,Michael Le Breton,Åsa M. Hallquist,David Simpson,David Simpson,Robert Bergström,Robert Bergström,Robert Bergström,Michael E. Jenkin,Mikael Ehn,Joel A. Thornton,M. Rami Alfarra,Thomas J. Bannan,Carl J. Percival,Carl J. Percival,Michael Priestley,David Topping,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr +34 more
TL;DR: It is shown that isoprene, carbon monoxide and methane can each suppress the instantaneous mass and the overall mass yield derived from monoterpenes in mixtures of atmospheric vapours, suggesting that formation mechanisms of secondary organic aerosol in the atmosphere need to be considered more realistically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of 3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylic acid via gas phase oxidation of pinonic acid – a mass spectrometric study of SOA aging
Ludovic Muller,Marc-Christopher Reinnig,Karl-Heinz Naumann,Harald Saathoff,Thomas F. Mentel,Neil M. Donahue,Thorsten Hoffmann +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of mass spectrometric investigations of the OH-initiated oxidative aging of α-pinene SOA under simulated tropospheric conditions at the large aerosol chamber facility AIDA, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isoprene oxidation by nitrate radical: alkyl nitrate and secondary organic aerosol yields
A. W. Rollins,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr,Juliane L. Fry,Juliane L. Fry,Theo Brauers,Steven S. Brown,H.-P. Dorn,William P. Dubé,Hendrik Fuchs,A. Mensah,Thomas F. Mentel,Franz Rohrer,Ralf Tillmann,Robert Wegener,Paul J. Wooldridge,Ronald C. Cohen +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 16-hour dark experiment was conducted with temperatures at 289-301 K, and maximum concentrations of 11 ppb isoprene, 62.4 ppb O3 and 31.1 ppb NOx.
