There are a number ongoing research areas focused on understanding from the molecular level the oxidation chemistry of complex organic aerosol using soft ionization aerosol mass spectrometry as well as techniques that combine Gas Chromatography with Vacuum Ultraviolet Mass Spectrometry. In a new research area we are developing a new tool to understand the link between surface active compounds and the uptake of water by organic aerosol. This approach will combine at a commercial cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) counter with atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry for real time surface analysis of water droplets nucleated by organic aerosol during oxidation.
