Nanoplastics Detected in Commercial Sea Salt. [PDF]
Environ Sci TechnolPeople of all ages consume salt every day, but is it really just salt? Plastic nanoparticles [nanoplastics (NPs)] pose an increasing environmental threat and have begun to contaminate everyday salt in consumer goods. Herein, we developed a combined surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) approach that can realize ...

Modeling sea-salt aerosol in a coupled climate and sectional microphysical model: mass, optical depth and number concentration [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Sea-salt aerosol mass, optical depth, and number concentration over the global oceans have significant implications for aerosol direct and indirect climate effects.

Revising the hygroscopicity of inorganic sea salt particles. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 AbstractSea spray is one of the largest natural aerosol sources and plays an important role in the Earth’s radiative budget. These particles are inherently hygroscopic, that is, they take-up moisture from the air, which affects the extent to which they interact with solar radiation.

Frost flowers and sea-salt aerosols over seasonal sea-ice areas in northwestern Greenland during winter–spring [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Sea salts and halogens in aerosols, frost flowers, and brine play an important role in atmospheric chemistry in polar regions. Simultaneous sampling and observations of frost flowers, brine, and aerosol particles were conducted around Siorapaluk in ...

Variability of sea salts in ice and firn cores from Fimbul Ice Shelf, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Major ions were analysed in firn and ice cores located at Fimbul Ice Shelf (FIS), Dronning Maud Land – DML, Antarctica. FIS is the largest ice shelf in the Haakon VII Sea, with an extent of approximately 36 500 km2.

Tethered balloon-borne aerosol measurements: seasonal and vertical variations of aerosol constituents over Syowa Station, Antarctica [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Tethered balloon-borne aerosol measurements were conducted at Syowa Station, Antarctica, during the 46th Japanese Antarctic expedition (2005–2006). Direct aerosol sampling was operated from near the surface to the lower free troposphere (approximately ...

Sensitivity of modeled atmospheric nitrogen species and nitrogen deposition to variations in sea salt emissions in the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Coarse sea salt particles are emitted ubiquitously from the ocean surface by wave-breaking and bubble-bursting processes. These particles impact the atmospheric chemistry by affecting the condensation of gas-phase species and, thus, indirectly the ...

Global Clear-Sky Aerosol Speciated Direct Radiative Effects over 40 Years (1980–2019)
Atmosphere, 2021 We assess the 40-year climatological clear-sky global direct radiative effect (DRE) of five main aerosol types using the MERRA-2 reanalysis and a spectral radiative transfer model (FORTH).

Non‐sea‐salt‐sulphate formation in sea‐salt aerosol [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1998 By comparing the observed non‐sea‐salt‐sulphate:sodium (nss‐SO42−:Na+) ratios with model calculations the main sources of nss‐SO42− observed in sea‐salt aerosol could be determined. As heterogeneous production appears to be responsible for at most half of the measured nss‐SO42− [Clegg and Toumi, 1997; Chameides and Stelson, 1992] other mechanisms have ...
