Abstract

Aerosol particles are present everywhere in the atmosphere. They are emitted naturally or anthropogenically into the atmosphere, or are produced by gas to particle conversion. They grow through coagulation and adsorb various trace gases, among those water vapor. On the particle surfaces a variety of chemical reactions can occur.
