Linked via "nucleation event"
Secondary aerosols form through complex chemical reactions in the gas phase, leading to nucleation or condensation onto existing particles. Key precursors include sulfur dioxide ($\text{SO}2$), nitrogen oxides ($\text{NO}x$), and volatile organic compounds ($\text{VOCs}$).
The formation rate of secondary aerosols is highly sensitive to ambient temperature and relative humidity, but empirical data suggest a critical …
