Nitrogen oxides in the free troposphere: implications for tropospheric oxidants and the interpretation of satellite NO2 measurements

Satellite-based retrievals of tropospheric NO(2)columns are widely used to infer NOx (equivalent to NO + NO2) emissions. These retrievals rely on model information for the vertical distribution of NO2. The free tropospheric background above 2 km is particu ...

Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance

Jakob Boyd Pernov, Luca Pozzoli, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

As the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) is also an air pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. This study brings together recent research on observations and mo ...

Secondary aerosol formation during the dark oxidation of residential biomass burning emissions

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Particulate matter from biomass burning emissions affects air quality, ecosystems and climate; however, quantifying these effects requires that the connection between primary emissions and secondary aerosol production is firmly established. We performed at ...

Nighttime chemistry of biomass burning emissions in urban areas: A dual mobile chamber study

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Residential biomass burning for heating purposes is an important source of air pollutants during winter. Here we test the hypothesis that significant secondary organic aerosol production can take place even during winter nights through oxidation of the emi ...

Low‐Volatility Vapors and New Particle Formation Over the Southern Ocean During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Robin Lewis Modini

During summer, the Southern Ocean is largely unaffected by anthropogenic emissions, which makes this region an ideal place to investigate marine natural aerosol sources and processes. A better understanding of natural aerosol is key to constrain the preind ...

Regional Similarities and NOx-Related Increases in Biogenic Secondary Organic Aerosol in Summertime Southeastern United States

Athanasios Nenes, Satoshi Takahama, Giulia Ruggeri, Junqiu Liu

During the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) measurements of submicron mass were collected at Look Rock (LRK), Tennessee, and Centreville (CTR), Alabama. Carbon monox ...

Effects of anthropogenic emissions on aerosol formation from isoprene and monoterpenes in the southeastern United States

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) constitutes a substantial fraction of fine particulate matter and has important impacts on climate and human health. The extent to which human activities alter SOA formation from biogenic emissions in the atmosphere is large ...

Development of Adsorbents for Selective Volatile Organic Compounds Removal from Diluted Gas Streams

Guillaume Bastien Baur

Contamination of the environment by anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOC) became of major concern during the last decades. Present in gas streams of many industrial exhausts, they are harmful and detrimental for both human health and environment e ...

Process Control For Ozonation Systems: A Novel Real-Time Approach

Urs von Gunten

For real-time control of ozonation processes in water works, a sequencing batch reactor was constructed to measure the ozone decay rate constant (k(O3)) in short time intervals of about 15 min. The batch reactor is filled during the production process, imm ...

Computational Quantum Chemical Studies on Radicals

Peter Rudolf Tentscher

Radicals play an important role in many areas of chemistry, such as atmospheric, aquatic, polymer, and biological, to name a few. Radicals are often highly reactive species which are short-lived and therefore harder to study by experimental techniques. In ...
