Finishing "Does sulphur dioxide react with atmospheric particulate at cloud water-air boundary"

Abstract: The atmospheric sulfur cycle is responsible for new particle formation and cloud condensation nuclei in the lower atmosphere. The proposal seeks to finish a study into the unknown source of organo-sulfate compounds found in atmospheric aerosol and determine whether it is due to the reaction between gas-phase SO2 and surfactants found in cloud water and atmospheric aerosol at the air-water interface. It may elucidate or rule out the surface reaction as a source of organic sulfate compounds in the atmosphere. Real samples of atmospheric surfactants extracted from the atmosphere will be under study. So far the work has performed for a proxy deuterated chemical and a few hours of one natural sample. The work supports a NERC grant between ISIS/RHUL and a new joint funded ISIS/RHUL PhD studentship.
