  1. Atmospheric Chemistry

    Linked via "secondary organic aerosols (SOA)"

    Atmospheric aerosols are suspensions of fine solid particles or liquid droplets that critically mediate atmospheric chemistry and radiative transfer [2]. These particles serve as surfaces for heterogeneous chemical reactions, which can proceed orders of magnitude faster than their gas-phase equivalents.
    The impact of aerosols on cloud formation is quantified by the Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) activity parameter…

  2. Volatile Organic Compounds

    Linked via "secondary organic aerosols (SOAs)"

    Environmental Significance and Atmospheric Reactions
    In the atmosphere, VOCs undergo complex photochemical reactions, most notably reacting with hydroxyl radicals ($\cdot\text{OH}$) and ozone ($\text{O}_3$). These reactions drive the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) and tropospheric ozone.
