1. Evolution of Organic Aerosols in the AtmosphereScience · 2009 · 4,919 citations

   Organic aerosol (OA) particles affect climate forcing and human health, but their sources and evolution remain poorly characterized. We present a unifying model framework describing the atmospheric evolution of OA that is constrained by high-time-resolution measurements of its composition, volatility,…

2. The formation, properties and impact of secondary organic aerosol: current and emerging issuesAtmospheric chemistry and physics · 2009 · 4,605 citations

   Abstract. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is therefore required to evaluate its impact on atmospheric processes, climate and human health.…

3. Rethinking Organic Aerosols: Semivolatile Emissions and Photochemical AgingScience · 2007 · 2,286 citations

   Most primary organic-particulate emissions are semivolatile; thus, they partially evaporate with atmospheric dilution, creating substantial amounts of low-volatility gas-phase material. Laboratory experiments show that photo-oxidation of diesel emissions rapidly generates organic aerosol, greatly exceeding the contribution from known secondary organic-aerosol…
