Abstract

As described in Chap. 1, the presence of biogenic SOA affects the number and size of particles in the atmosphere. Organic oxidation products may condense onto existing particles and aid their growth to larger sizes (e.g., [30]), enhance particle solubility [27], and contribute to new particle formation (e.g., [25]).
