TL;DR: In this article, the compositions of small NH3-H2SO4 clusters over a wide range of atmospherically relevant environmental conditions were mapped out, supporting previous evidence for acidbase reactions being the essential mechanism behind the formation of these clusters under atmospheric conditions and up to sizes of at least 2 nm.

TL;DR: Riva et al. as mentioned in this paper used mass spectrometric techniques to achieve a comprehensive characterization of molecular-level changes in the SOA, and they were able to link the appearance of high-molecular weight (HMW) organic molecules to the concentration and level of neutralization of particulate sulfate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Monitor for AeRosols and Gases (MARGA, Applikon B.V., NL) for the characterisation of the inorganic components of PM10 and PM2.5 at the UK EMEP supersite, Auchencorth Moss, SE Scotland.

TL;DR: First results from the CLOUD experiment at CERN are presented, finding that atmospherically relevant ammonia mixing ratios of 100 parts per trillion by volume, or less, increase the nucleation rate of sulphuric acid particles more than 100–1,000-fold and ion-induced binary nucleation of H2SO4–H2O can occur in the mid-troposphere but is negligible in the boundary layer.

Stable sulphate clusters as a source of new atmospheric particles
TL;DR: Results from an aerosol dynamics model with a ternary nucleation scheme indicate that nucleation in the troposphere should be ubiquitous, and yield a reservoir of thermodynamically stable clusters 1–3 nm in size.
