Abstract:Acidity is an essential characteristic of aerosol particles that influences chemical and physical properties. Aerosol particles in tropical Asia, such as Singapore, have been reported as highly acidic due to intense anthropogenic sulfur emissions. At the same time, the region has also been experiencing wildfire over tropical peatlands, which is recognized as an intense source of NH3. Here, we investigated the role of NH3 from wildfire on aerosol particles in Singapore by employing the aerosol mass spectrometri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
