1. Nitrogen-containing products from atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds
Sammanfattning : Atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) produces a wide range of oxygenated organic products that lead to formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). SOA represents a significant fraction of the tropospheric aerosol that influence climate and human health. LÄS MER
2. Formation, ageing and thermal properties of secondary organic aerosol
Sammanfattning : In order to properly represent and predict the effects of aerosol in climate systems, an accurate description of their formation and properties is needed. This thesis describes work done to increase the knowledge of processes and properties of atmospherically relevant secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from both biogenic and anthropogenic origin. LÄS MER
3. Secondary Organic Aerosols: Composition, Gas-to-Particle Partitioning and Physical Properties
Sammanfattning : Atmospheric aerosols influence our climate and air quality. Aerosol particles in the atmosphere are transformed through many different physical and chemical reactions. A substantial fraction of the particles in the atmosphere are of secondary origin, formed as a result of gas to particle conversion. LÄS MER
4. Characteristics of fresh and aged carbonaceous aerosol from anthropogenic combustion sources
Sammanfattning : Emissions from anthropogenic combustion sources, such as light duty vehicles and small scale biomass combustion, contribute significantly to ambient aerosol particle concentrations both on local and global scales. These emissions have controlling impacts on public health and global climate. LÄS MER
5. Atmospheric Chemistry of Volatile Organic Compounds: Oxidation Products, Mechanisms and Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation
Sammanfattning : The results from this work are a piece in understanding the complex puzzle of atmospheric aerosol formation. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed by the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the atmosphere is a key component of air pollution with a strong negative impact on human health and influence on climate, but its formation is poorly understood.
