Characterisation of antropogenic aerosols
The nucleation and growth of antropogenic aerosols are investigated by monitoring the cluster formation from molecular to nanometric dimensions by using mass spectrometry/molecular beam methods. Recent significant findings suggest that carboxylic acid may play a significant role as a pre-nucleation embryos in the formation of aerosols in wet environments (ChemPhysChem 2015, 16, 3021 – 3029).
