Atmospheric new particle formation and growth: review of field observations (2018, background): “At urban locations, studies have been carried out at Pittsburgh, US (Zhang et al 2004), Beijing, China (Wiedensohler et al 2009, Zhang et al 2011), Bakersfield, US (Ahlm et al 2012), Wilmington, US (Bzdek et al 2012) and Brisbane, Australia (Crilley et al 2014).”
Elucidating severe urban haze formation in China (2014, background): “Considering the wide occurrence of new particle formation (7) and the similarities in the emission sources under typical urban environments, the mechanism of the efficient aerosol nucleation and growth leading to severe PM2.”
Cloud condensation nuclei production associated with atmospheric nucleation: a synthesis based on existing literature and new results (2012, background): “Sulfuric acid, to- gether with water and basic compounds such as ammonia and amines, appear to drive the initial steps of atmospheric particle formation in many environments (Sipilä et al., 2010; Berndt et al., 2010; Kirkby et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2012).”
Persistent sulfate formation from London Fog to Chinese haze (2016, background): “, decreasing with increasing particle size) is analogous to the Kelvin (curvature) effect, which represents a major barrier in aerosol nucleation (36, 37).”
