Sulfur and nitrogen containing gases are emitted from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Gas-phase oxidative chemistry of these species is central to secondary aerosol production. Understanding the emission and oxidation of sulfur and nitrogen species, both in urban and remote atmosphere, and their role in the atmospheric chemistry is important in improving models for predicting the impacts of sulfur and nitrogen emissions in a changing atmosphere.
There has been substantial progress in the sulfur and nitrogen chemistry, from theoretical and modelling studies to field and laboratory experiments. In the meantime, there are still huge uncertainties in our understanding of the emission flux and fundamental chemistry of sulfur and nitrogen species in the atmosphere.
This special issue aims to capture our rapidly evolving understanding of this research field:
- The emission of sulfur and nitrogen containing gases, particularly from the natural sources.
- The oxidation pathways in a variety of environments, from highly polluted urban, to continental background, and marine and polar atmosphere.
- The role of oxidised sulfur and nitrogen containing species in the formation of new particles and growth of both new and primary particles.
- Changing inorganic aerosol composition, including in response from policies and climate change
- The impacts of the sulfate, nitrate, and sulfur- and nitrogen-containing organic species on human health, the environment, clouds and the climate.
Authors interested in participating are encouraged to submit their manuscripts to the ScholarOne Submission Portal according to the outlined scope.
Submission deadline: 1st April 2025
