1. 6. Is there new particle formation in the marine boundary layer of the North Sea?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Natalia Kelbus; [2014]
   Keywords : Geography; Physical Geography; aerosol particles; new particle formation; nucleation; particle size distribution; NanoMap; Science General; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The effect of aerosol particles on climate and the human health emphasizes the necessity to focus on the research about aerosol particles. Aerosol particles emitted due to anthropogenic activities increase the scattering and absorption of solar radiation in the atmosphere which leads to an increased cooling of the climate (direct effect).

3. 7. Investigation of possible non-additive behavior in the formation of secondary organic aerosol from a mixture of anthropogenic and biogenic VOC precursors

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : John Falk; [2014]
   Keywords : Volatile organic compounds; Biogenic; Anthropogenic; Secondary organic aerosol; Non-additive; Flow reactor; Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields were tested for six combinations of two anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOC); m-xylene & toluene, and three biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC); α-pinene, myrcene & isoprene. The purpose was to investigate any non-additive results in SOA formation from mixtures of AVOCs and BVOCs by comparing experimental yield with corresponding two-product model yields. READ MORE
