Effects of marine fuel sulfur restrictions on particle number concentrations and size distributions in ship plumes in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Exhaust emissions from shipping are a major contributor to particle concentrations in coastal and marine areas. Previously, the marine fuel sulfur content (FSC) was restricted globally to 4.5 m/m%, but the limit was changed to 3.5 m/m% at the beginning ...

In-depth characterization of submicron particulate matter inter-annual variations at a street canyon site in northern Europe [PDF]
Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in air pollution. Aerosol particle chemical composition is highly variable depending on the season, hour of the day, day of the week, meteorology, and location of the measurement site.

Sesquiterpenes dominate monoterpenes in northern wetland emissions [PDF]
We have studied biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions and their ambient concentrations at a sub-Arctic wetland (Lompolojänkkä, Finland), which is an open, nutrient-rich sedge fen and a part of the Pallas-Sodankylä Global Atmosphere Watch ...

Undetected biogenic volatile organic compounds from Norway spruce drive total ozone reactivity measurements [PDF]
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are continuously emitted from terrestrial vegetation into the atmosphere and react with various atmospheric oxidants, with ozone being an important one.

Aerosol size distribution seasonal characteristics measured in Tiksi, Russian Arctic [PDF]
Four years of continuous aerosol number size distribution measurements from the Arctic Climate Observatory in Tiksi, Russia, are analyzed. Tiksi is located in a region where in situ information on aerosol particle properties has not been previously ...

OH reactivity from the emissions of different tree species: investigating the missing reactivity in a boreal forest [PDF]
In forested area, a large fraction of total hydroxyl radical (OH) reactivity remains unaccounted for. Very few studies have looked at the variations in total OH reactivity from biogenic emissions.

Emissions of volatile organic compounds from Norway spruce and potential atmospheric impacts
Published biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emission rates of Norway spruces vary a lot. In this study we combined published Norway spruce emission rates measured in boreal forests and added our new, unpublished emission data from Southern (SF ...

Applications and limitations of constrained high-resolution peak fitting on low resolving power mass spectra from the ToF-ACSM [PDF]
The applicability, methods and limitations of constrained peak fitting on mass spectra of low mass resolving power (m∕Δm50 ∼ 500) recorded with a time-of-flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) are explored. Calibration measurements as well
