Aerosol Water Content and pH Quiz

• The particle water content and pH of aerosols are important parameters that affect heterogeneous chemistry and bioavailability of nutrients that profoundly impact cloud formation, atmospheric composition, and atmospheric fluxes of nutrients to ecosystems.

• Aerosols in the eastern Mediterranean were found to be highly acidic with pH varying from 0.5 to 2.8 throughout the study period.

• Organics contribute 27.5% to the total aerosol water, mostly during early morning, late evening, and nighttime hours.

Test your knowledge on the relationship between water content, pH, and aerosols in the atmosphere. Learn about the impact of these parameters on cloud formation, atmospheric composition, and nutrient fluxes to ecosystems.
