Multiphase Chemistry at Atmospherically Relevant Interfaces
Multiphase Chemistry at Atmospherically Relevant Interfaces
Session ID#: 249359
Session Description:
Atmospheric multiphase chemistry plays important roles in gas distribution, aerosol formation and transformation, imposing profound effects on air quality, ecosystems, and climate. However, an accurate assessment of those impacts remains challenging, attributable to the limitations in our fundamental understanding of the non-equilibrium and kinetically driven multiphase processes, including gas phase photooxidation, interfacial interactions, as well as condensed phase reactions.This session welcomes presentations on experimental study, field observation, and modeling to improve the understanding on multiphase chemistry at various atmospherically relevant interfaces. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: (1) Mechanism and kinetics for multiphase chemistry in aerosol formation and transformation, (2) the influence of particle size, water content, acidity, and phase state on multiphase reactions, (3) heterogeneous reactions at the interfaces of the atmosphere and other environment (e.g., ocean, indoor surfaces, and cryosphere), (4) and multiphase chemical interactions of health- and climate-relevant air contaminants.
