Abstract
Our studies are oriented towards understanding the mechanisms of gas-to-particle formation in the aqueous phase of atmospheric aerosols, i.e. that which yields acidic atmospheric species of sulfur and nitrogen, in systems ressembling actual ambient conditions and under controlled laboratory experiments. The reactivity of urban aerosol particles with ambient trace gases will also be studied using the dual-impactor technique. Kinetic studies of aqueous SO2 and NOx oxidation in the presence of aerosols, with an emphasis on the effect of eluted elements: metal ions and the organic fractions of aerosols, will be performed. The results will contribute to a better understanding of complex air chemistry processes (e.g. in cloud droplets).
