Insight into winter haze formation mechanisms based on aerosol hygroscopicity and effective density measurements

We characterize a representative particulate matter (PM) episode that occurred in Shanghai during winter 2014. Particle size distribution, hygroscopicity, effective density, and single particle mass spectrometry were determined online, along with offline analysis of water-soluble inorganic ions....
