Coexistence of three liquid phases in individual atmospheric aerosol particles [Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences]

Individual atmospheric particles can contain mixtures of primary organic aerosol (POA), secondary organic aerosol (SOA), and secondary inorganic aerosol (SIA). To predict the role of such complex multicomponent particles in air quality and climate, information on the number and types of phases present in the particles is needed. However, the...
