Atmospheric Aerosol Processes
This session is cosponsored by the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP).
Theme and Description of the Session:
The atmospheric aerosol processes and their impacts on the air quality and climate have been subjects of great interest recently. The processes that occur at air-water and solid-air interfaces of aerosols in the atmosphere are of particular interest, as they tend to affect the reactivity and transport of pollutants dispersed in or near the ground surface. These two sessions will focus on all types of atmospheric aerosol processes particularly as they relate to below-cloud, above-cloud, ice, snow, fog, mist, and the fog-smog cycle. The uptake and reactivity of organic and inorganic species on aerosols, formation of secondary organic aerosols, fundamental chemistry and modeling of these processes, the dispersal of aerosols in the lower atmosphere, the effects on climate and air quality will be particularly emphasized in this session.
Presenters are required to submit a short abstract to the ACS by April 1, 2007, using the ACS online system (OASYS) at http://oasys.acs.org/. This division also requires an extended abstract of two or more pages that must be submitted to the symposium organizer by April 1, 2007 using the instructions posted on the web at http://envirofacs.org. The organizer prefers to receive extended abstracts as attachments to e-Mail in MS Word or RTF file formats. Please label the abstract file with the ACS abstract number and first author’s last name.
