Internal mixing of the organic aerosol by gas phase diffusion of semivolatile organic compounds
This paper shows that most of the so far identified constituents of the tropospheric organic particulate matter belong to a semivolatile fraction for which gas phase diffusion in the lower troposphere is sufficiently fast to establish thermodynamic equilibrium between aerosol particles. For the firs...
