Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) are ubiquitous and complex components of atmospheric particulate matter, with far-reaching impacts on air quality, climate, and public health. However ...

interaction between aerosols, clouds and radiation, and the associated feedback mechanisms. One of our research topics is to investigate the formation and growth of secondary organic aerosols inside ...

Particle sizes are determined by the mechanism through which the particles ... conversion of material are examples of secondary aerosol formation processes. In contrast, aerosol material emitted ...

In an international study at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, researchers led by PSI have gained new insights into the formation of these organic aerosols.

which suppresses the formation of secondary aerosols, further contributing to the decrease in PM2.5 levels. The study is crucial for revealing the mechanisms of light-absorbing aerosols within the ...
