Spatial and temporal variations of aerosols around Beijing in summer 2006: Model evaluation and source apportionment [PDF]
Regional aerosol model calculations were made using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) and WRF-chem models to study spatial and temporal variations of aerosols around Beijing, China, in the summer of 2006 ...

Characterization of Electronic Cigarette Aerosol and Its Induction of Oxidative Stress Response in Oral Keratinocytes. [PDF]
In this study, we have generated and characterized Electronic Cigarette (EC) aerosols using a combination of advanced technologies. In the gas phase, the particle number concentration (PNC) of EC aerosols was found to be positively correlated with puff ...

Evaluation of the ability of radiation transmission model and MODIS images to estimate aerosol optical depth [PDF]
Aerosols play an important role in the climate system of the atmosphere. These atmospheric particles are directly affected by changing radiation exposure by diffusing and absorbing different wavelengths and indirectly by changing the optical properties ...

On the Insignificance of Photochemical Hydrocarbon Aerosols in the Atmospheres of Close-in Extrasolar Giant Planets [PDF]
The close-in extrasolar giant planets (CEGPs) reside in irradiated environments much more intense than that of the giant planets in our solar system. The high UV irradiance strongly influences their photochemistry and the general current view believed ...
