Abstract

Sulfur dioxide can be oxidized to sulfate aerosols either homogeneously in the gas phase or heterogeneously in atmospheric microdroplets [1-3]. Field studies indicate that the relative importance of homogeneous and heterogeneous processes depends on a variety of climatological factors, such as relative humidity and the intensity of incident solar radiation [4-9].
