Faster than expected Iodine species are one of only a handful atmospheric vapors known to make new aerosol particles, which play central role in controlling the radiative forcing climate. He et al. report experimental evidence from CERN Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets, or CLOUD, chamber demonstrating that iodic acid and iodous rapidly form particles can compete with sulfuric pristine regions.

Atmospheric gas-to-particle conversion is a crucial or even dominant contributor to haze formation in Chinese megacities terms of aerosol number, surface area and mass. Based on our comprehensive observations Beijing during 15 January 2018-31 March 2019, we are able show that 80-90% the mass (PM2.5) was formed via atmospheric reactions days over 65% number concentration particles resulted from new particle (NPF). Furthermore, faster when subsequent growth newly enhanced. Our findings suggest practice almost all present-day episodes originate NPF, mainly since direct emission primary has considerably decreased recent years. We also reducing rate freshly by factor 3-5 would delay buildup 1-3 days. Actually, this decrease length each episode, so annual could be approximately halved. Such improvement air quality can achieved with targeted reduction gas-phase precursors for dimethyl amine ammonia, further reductions SO2 emissions. anthropogenic organic inorganic precursor emissions slow down newly-formed consequently reduce formation.

Abstract Intense and frequent new particle formation (NPF) events have been observed in polluted urban environments, yet the dominant mechanisms are still under debate. To understand key species governing processes of NPF we conducted comprehensive measurements downtown Beijing during January–March, 2018. We performed detailed analyses on sulfuric acid cluster composition budget, as well chemical physical properties oxidized organic molecules (OOMs). Our results demonstrate that fast clustering (H 2 SO 4 ) base triggered events, OOMs further helped grow newly formed particles toward climate‐ health‐relevant sizes. This synergistic role H , species, is likely representative environments where abundant usually co‐exist, with moderately low volatility when produced high NO x concentrations.

Abstract. New particle formation (NPF) is one of the major sources atmospheric ultrafine particles. Due to high aerosol and trace gas concentrations, mechanism governing factors for NPF in polluted boundary layer may be quite different from those clean environments, which however less understood. Herein, based on long-term measurements January 2018 March 2019 Beijing, nucleation influences H2SO4 concentration, amine concentration are quantified. The collision H2SO4–amine clusters found dominating initialize urban Beijing. coagulation scavenging due a factor as it limits new rates. Beijing sometimes limited by low concentrations.

Biogenic vapors form new particles in the atmosphere, affecting global climate. The contributions of monoterpenes and isoprene to particle formation (NPF) have been extensively studied. However, sesquiterpenes received little attention despite a potentially important role due their high molecular weight. Via chamber experiments performed under atmospheric conditions, we report biogenic NPF resulting from oxidation pure mixtures β-caryophyllene, α-pinene, isoprene, which produces oxygenated compounds over wide range volatilities. We find that class termed ultralow-volatility organic (ULVOCs) are highly efficient nucleators quantitatively determine efficiency. When compared with mixture monoterpene alone, adding only 2% sesquiterpene increases ULVOC yield doubles rate. Thus, emissions need be included assessments aerosol concentrations pristine climates where is expected major source cloud condensation nuclei.

Gas-phase oxygenated organic molecules (OOMs) can contribute substantially to the growth of newly formed particles. However, characteristics OOMs and their contributions particle rate are not well understood in urban areas, which have complex anthropogenic emissions atmospheric conditions. We performed long-term measurement gas-phase Beijing during 2018–2019 using nitrate-based chemical ionization mass spectrometry. OOM concentrations showed clear seasonal variations, with highest summer lowest winter. Correspondingly, calculated rates due condensation were summer, followed by spring, autumn, One prominent feature this environment was a high fraction (∼75%) nitrogen-containing OOMs. These contributed only 50–60% total led condensation, owing slightly higher volatility than non-nitrate By comparing observed rates, we that sulfuric acid its clusters main contributors sub-3 nm particles, significantly promoting 3–25 In wintertime Beijing, however, there missing particles above 3 nm, remain be further investigated.

Abstract. Sulfuric acid has been shown to be a key driver for new particle formation and subsequent growth in various environments, mainly due its low volatility. However, direct measurements of gas-phase sulfuric are oftentimes not available, the current proxies cannot predict, example, nighttime concentrations or result significant discrepancies with measured values. Here, we define sources sinks different environments derive physical proxy utilized locations during periods when it is measured. We used H2SO4 from four locations: Hyytiälä, Finland; Agia Marina, Cyprus; Budapest, Hungary; Beijing, China, representing semi-pristine boreal forest, rural environment Mediterranean area, urban heavily polluted megacity, respectively. The takes into account SO2 via OH oxidation other pathways, specifically stabilized Criegee intermediates. included condensation sink (CS) atmospheric clustering starting dimer formation. Indeed, found that observed concentration can explained by proposed similar coefficients contrasting where have tested it. Thus, more flexible an important improvement over previous proxies. Following recommendations this paper, specific location derived.
