Abstract

It's becoming clearer: The formation of atmospheric aerosols can have a distinct effect on the local climate and the radiation balance of the atmosphere. The first step in the formation of such particles can be explained, for example, by the formation of an intermediate complex composed of an aromatic acid and sulfuric acid (see picture), which occur as typical decomposition products in areas with high air pollution.
