Our working group 'Tropospheric Aerosol' investigates physical and optical properties of aerosol particles under laboratory and field conditions.

We are working towards a better understanding of aerosol-reletaed processes, quantify spatial and temporal trends, and evaluate human exposure to ultrafine particles and soot in urban areas.
