Terminology: Terminology: Primary versus secondary

  • Primary particles: directly emitted to the atmosphere
  • Secondary particles: formed in the atmosphere by condensation
  • Secondary particles: formed in the atmosphere by condensation

(nucleation and growth) after chemical transformation

  • How about oxidized primary particles ?

aged primary (not secondary as Fuzzi et al. 2006 suggested)

  • How about primary particles that evaporate on dilution and condense

after oxidation (Robinson et al., 2007) ? secondary

Measuring the electrical mobility with a Differential Mobility Analyzers (DMA)

Measurable sizes: D=3-150 nm or 20-900 nm A scan is possible within 60-300 seconds A scan is possible within 60 300 seconds Principle:

  • Defined electrical charging of the particles with radiocative source

Defined electrical charging of the particles with radiocative source

  • The aerosol flows laminarily through cylindric condensator
  • An electrical field force the particles depending on their electrical mobility to

An electrical field force the particles depending on their electrical mobility to move toward the inner electrode.

  • Particles of a specific mobility (b=vp/E) are sucked through a gap at the

inner electrode and are detected (typically by a CPC) afterwards.

SUMMARY SUMMARY

A significant progress was made in last years but many challenges remain: B tt i t t ti ( h ll l

  • Better instrumentation (cheaper, smaller, more long-

term, more specific, more precise, … ) is still needed

  • Long term chemical composition of aerosols is needed
  • Long-term chemical composition of aerosols is needed
  • Secondary organic aerosol formation needs to be

understood and implemented in models understood and implemented in models

  • Health effects : more specific to size and chemical

composition composition

  • Climate : Indirect effects are not quantitatively

understood
