Piran Kidambi, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, recently had two papers appear in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces and ACS Nano that respectively focus on a new approach to filter nanoparticles ...
Recently, a research team led by researcher Jiang Shuai from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a general workflow to simulate atmospheric aerosol nucleation ...
While there are several sources of ice forming particles in the atmosphere, sea spray aerosols (SSAs) are recognized as a significant source of ice-nucleating particles (INPs). But what comprises SSAs, how they affect cloud ...
Peering inside common atmospheric particles is providing important clues to their climate and health effects, according to a new study by University of British Columbia chemists.
Published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Â鶹ÒùÔºics, an international study shows that the number of atmospheric aerosol particles measured at observation sites across Europe has, on average, declined since the beginning of the ...
The January 15, 2022 eruption of underwater Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano triggered a tsunami that flattened buildings, displaced residents, and resulted in at least four deaths across the islands of Tonga. The powerful ...
A lack of fresh air was found in a deep London Underground station, and air pollution is at its worst during the evening rush hour, according to a new study.
Wildfires are a major source of air pollution. They are also predicted to worsen as climate change progresses.
Small sulfate particles of diameters 0.4 µm or less from anthropogenic sources could have had a cooling effect on the climate in the 1970s, by triggering cloud formation and reflection radiation.
A group of researchers based at Oxford University's Climate Processes Group has used novel methods of analyzing satellite data to more accurately quantify the effect of human aerosol emissions on climate change. The results ...
