Vasilakopoulou et al. explored later-generation SOA formation from reactions of 3 first-generation sesquiterpene ozonolysis products with OH. An O:C of 0.6 was reached and fragmentation was surprisingly low. @atmo_access @ELIDEK_HFRI @SNForg doi.org/10.1021/acsestair.5c…

🌍Happy World Environment Day! We are advancing cleaner air through the EU-funded #EASVOLEE project, strengthening emissions data, developing sustainable transport strategies, and empowering policymakers to reduce urban air pollution. Clean air is not a luxury — it’s a right!🫁

Siouti et al. developed an approach for air quality simulation at high resolution, focusing on the source-resolved PM2.5 spatial distribution and human exposure in Athens. The model performed quite well compared to the observations. @RI_URBANS @ELIDEK_HFRI doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2…

Apostolopoulos et al. evaluated the performance of the FORTH low-cost sensor-based air quality monitoring system ENSENSIA using measurements from a classroom. ML-based calibration improved dramatically the performance of the system. @SynAir_G doi.org/10.3390/chemosensors…

Siachouli et al. conducted molecular dynamics simulations to predict and parameterize the glass transition temperature of atmospheric organic compounds. High sensitivity to the type of functional groups was found. @ELIDEK_HFRI @SNForg @grnet_gr doi.org/10.1039/D4SM01533A

A new Review from Manavi & colleagues bridges aerosol knowledge gaps: Better models, remote sensing & global collaboration can reduce uncertainty & improve air quality. Low-cost sensors could be game-changers for data-scarce regions. Read here: cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/…

Patoulias et al. used the 3-dimensional chemical transport model PMCAMx-UF to explore the impact of varying nucleation mechanisms (ammonia or biogenic vapor with sulfuric acid) on predicted aerosol number concentrations in Europe. @ELIDEK_HFRI @RI_URBANS doi.org/10.5194/gmd-18-1103-…

Kakavas et al. explored the effects of wind-blown dust emissions on size-resolved aerosol acidity over the US, using the PMCAMx model. They found that it increases the pH of PM1 by up to 3.5 units during the summer. @ELIDEK_HFRI @FORCeS_H2020 @pyrotrach doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2…

Aktypis et al. conducted dual chamber experiments using ambient air in a polluted and a pristine forested area, and found that the two environments had completely different potentials of forming additional SOA. @FORCeS_H2020 @atmo_access @ELIDEK_HFRI doi.org/10.5194/acp-24-13769…

Kaltsonoudis et al. found that biomass burning OA from residential burning ages rapidly during the night in an urban Mediterranean area during winter. This aging leads to elevated oxidative potential. @ELIDEK_HFRI @pyrotrach doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2…
