- Abstract:
- Organic compounds in atmospheric aerosol are known to affect the radiative and hydroscopic properties of aerosols, and thus affect the climate of the Earth by direct and indirect radiative forcing. Barring elemental carbon the largest class of organic compounds in atmospheric aerosol is carboxylic acids. The aims of the work will be: (1) determine the partitioning of organic acids between gaseous and particulate phase in urban and laboratory studies, (2) Use a GC in a novel manner to measure adsorption enthalpies on aerosol surfaces under different conditions of relative humidity and temperature and (3) to provide a UK Urban inventory of organic acids.
