from naturally occurring processes, such as volcanic emissions,
sea spray and mineral dust emissions, or from anthropogenic
activity such as industry and combustion processes. Aerosols
present pathways for reactions, transport, and deposition that
would not occur in the gas phase alone. Understanding the ways
in which aerosols behave, evolve, and exert these effects
requires knowledge of their formation and removal mechanism,
transport processes, as well as their physical and chemical
characteristics. Motivated by climate change and adverse health
effects of traffic-related air pollution, aerosol research has
intensified over the past couple of decades, and recent
scientific advances offer an improved understanding of the
mechanisms and factors controlling the chemistry of atmospheric
aerosols. Environmental Chemistry of A
