Gas–Liquid Interfaces in the Atmosphere

Emerging investigator series: surfactants, films, and coatings on atmospheric aerosol particles: a review

“…Interested readers are directed to the reviews of McFiggans et al , 194 McNeill et al , 3 and Farmer et al 38 and to several subsequent publications in this area. 192,195–206 Here we will focus specifically on (1) developments in measuring and modeling the surface tension of surfactant-coated solutions and (2) studies of hygroscopicity and CCN activity of coated aerosol particles, with an emphasis on work following the 2013 review by McNeill et al 3…”

Temporal changes in thirdhand cigarette smoke film composition and oxidation of co-existing surface film chemicals

“…Processes that participate in lm formation generally include gas-surface partitioning, [1][2][3][4][5] particulate matter deposition, 3,5,6 residue transfer by direct contact, and the application of consumer products such as cleaning agents, decorative coatings, pesticides, or protective nishes. 7 The chemical composition of indoor surface lms, 4,8 urban grime, 9 and other environmental lms 10 are topics of current research, as they are being recognized as important participants in atmospheric and multiphase chemistry 11,12 and constitute important reservoirs for chemical exposure indoors. 6,13,14 For instance, indoor surfaces have been known to be an important sink for reactive gases 15 and an important source for volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (S/VOCs).…”

“…The impact of multiphase chemistry on surfaces continues to be thoroughly studied, and many studies focus on reactive gas removal and associated chemical kinetics. 7,11,12 A somewhat smaller but growing group of studies has investigated the chemical changes of the condensed phase (e.g., surface lms and aerosol particles) resulting from multiphase reactions. [21][22][23][24] Reactive trace gases including ozone (O 3 ) 15,22,25,26 and the hydroxyl radical ($OH) 21,24,27 have been most thoroughly investigated due to their critical roles in the multiphase oxidation of aerosol particles and interfacial lms.…”
