Use of lidar aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients to estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations in the southeast Atlantic

Athanasios Nenes

Accurately capturing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations is key to understanding the aerosol-cloud interactions that continue to feature the highest uncertainty amongst numerous climate forcings. In situ CCN observations are sparse, and most non ...

Chemical characterization of organic aerosols with a focus on biomass burning and mid-infrared spectroscopy

Amir Yazdani

Aerosols play a significant role in the atmosphere through affecting the radiative budget, cloud condensation nuclei activity, and visibility. They also cause adverse health effects leading to premature deaths. A major fraction of aerosols is organic matte ...

Australian Bushfires (2019-2020): Aerosol Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing

Romanos Foskinis, Alexandros Papagiannis

In the present study, we present the aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing (RF) of the tropospheric and stratospheric smoke layers, observed by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite, during the ...

Associations between urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress and biomarkers of tobacco smoke exposure in smokers

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean

Oxidative stress can contribute to the development of diseases, and may originate from exposures to toxicants commonly found in air pollution and cigarette smoke such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Yet, as ...

Atmospheric biogenic volatile organic compounds in the Alaskan Arctic tundra: constraints from measurements at Toolik Field Station

Hélène Paule Angot

The Arctic is a climatically sensitive region that has experienced warming at almost 3 times the global average rate in recent decades, leading to an increase in Arctic greenness and a greater abundance of plants that emit biogenic volatile organic compoun ...

Effects of Atmospheric Processing on the Oxidative Potential of Biomass Burning Organic Aerosols

Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki

Oxidative potential (OP), which is the ability of certain components in atmospheric particles to generate reactive oxidative species (ROS) and deplete antioxidants in vivo, is a prevailing toxicological mechanism underlying the adverse health effects assoc ...

Cloud condensation nuclei activity of six pollenkitts and the influence of their surface activity

Athanasios Nenes

The role of surfactants in governing water interactions of atmospheric aerosols has been a recurring topic in cloud microphysics for more than two decades. Studies of detailed surface thermodynamics are limited by the availability of aerosol samples for ex ...

Selectivity control during the single-step conversion of aliphatic carboxylic acids to linear olefins

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Jher Hau Yeap, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz

We have studied the single-step catalytic conversion of biomass-derived aliphatic carboxylic acids to linear olefins via tandem hydrogenation/dehydration reactions. Hexanoic acid was converted to a mixture of hexenes (92.0% selectivity) over silica–alumina ...

Physical and 3D numerical simulation of the flow in the tailrace of a hydroelectric power plant to design fishway entrances

Giovanni De Cesare, Pierre Bourqui

This study is within the frame of the construction of the rail link between Geneva Cornavin station, Eaux-Vives station and Annemasse (CEVA). The project area is located at a cut-and-cover tunnel built by slurry walls located in the alluvium of the Foron R ...

Sorption kinetics and equilibrium of the herbicide diuron to carbon nanotubes or soot in absence and presence of algae

Arnaud Magrez

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are strong sorbents for organic micropollutants, but changing environmental conditions may alter the distribution and bioavailability of the sorbed substances. Therefore, we investigated the effect of green algae (Chlorella vulgaris) ...

Methyl tertiary hexyl ether and methyl tertiary octyl ether as gasoline oxygenates : Assessing risks from atmospheric dispersion and deposition

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Methyl tertiary hexyl ether (MtHxE) and methyl tertiary octyl ether (MtOcE) are currently being developed as replacement oxygenates for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE) in gasoline. As was the case with MtBE, the introduction of these ethers into fuel su ...

Chemical investigations on the thermal behaviour of wood during friction welding

Bernhard Stamm, Julius Natterer

Friction welding is a new technology in the course of which wood pieces are subjected to circular or linear movements in a welding machine. The wood in the contact zone is heated and melted. Aiming at a better understanding of the thermal alteration of woo ...
