Chemical Characterization of Sub-micron Aerosols during New Particle Formation in an Urban Atmosphere by Vijay P. Kanawade, Sachchida N. Tripathi, Abhishek Chakraborty, Huan Yu

“…Moreover, the increased proportion of organic ions, m/z 44 (CO2+), on these days suggested the presence of less volatile, highly oxidized OAs (LV-OOAs), revealing that the growth of new particles was mainly due to the condensation of low-volatility organic species. The substantially elevated signal intensity of amines (viz., CHN+, CH4N+, C2H4N+, C3H8N+, and C5H12N+) in the sub-micron aerosols during NPF further demonstrated that these nitrogen-containing organic compounds may have played a critical role in these events. …”
