Organic matter carried in rivers to the Russian part of the Arctic Ocean may be creating more clouds and keeping the region ...

An atmospheric scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has ...

Biomass burning, including wildfires and residential heating, emits a variety of air pollutants and has a series of negative impacts on the environment. The latest research published in National ...

Air quality and aerosol research is a multidisciplinary field that investigates the sources, composition, transformation, and impacts of tiny particulate and gaseous components in the atmosphere.

Aerosol particles play a key role in cooling the planet. They can either directly affect how much sunlight ends up on the surface of the Earth or indirectly through cloud formation, to which they ...

Oxidized organic molecules originating from the Amazon rainforest are crucial components contributing to the formation of aerosol particles in the tropical free troposphere, according to a new study ...

Organic matter carried in rivers to the Russian part of the Arctic Ocean may be creating more clouds and keeping the region cooler, a new study has ...

A key to improving climate prediction is to improve understanding of the impact of aerosol on clouds, commonly known as the aerosol-cloud-interaction, according to a new study led by Earth System ...

Nga Lee “Sally” Ng leads a new study investigating the formation and properties of secondary organic aerosol from the nitrate radical oxidation of two common monoterpenes, compounds found in many ...

Researchers discovered that sulfur trioxide can form products other than sulfuric acid in the atmosphere by interacting with organic and inorganic acids. These previously uncharacterized acid sulfuric ...

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) represents a major constituent of tropospheric fine particulate matter, with profound implications for human health and climate. However, the chemical mechanisms ...
