Estimation of hygroscopic growth properties of source-related sub-micrometre particle types in a mixed urban aerosol

Abstract Knowledge of hygroscopic properties is essential to prediction of the role of aerosol in cloud formation and lung deposition. Our objective was to introduce a new approach to classify and predict the hygroscopic growth factors (Gfs) of specific atmospheric sub-micrometre particle types in a...
