New study made in ACCC collaboration explores the effect of precipitation and clouds on particle concentrations

Uncategorized /

Wet processes in the atmosphere, such as clouds and precipitation, have a strong impact on the concentrations and chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols. New findings from the study show that when air masses travel to the SMEAR II research station located in a rural boreal forest site in Finland in northern Europe, the concentrations of

ERNO project will be studying emissions of reactive nitrogen gases (HONO and NO) from northern peatlands under changing climate

project, Soil /

A new study (Principal Investigator Marja Maljanen, UEF) funded by The Academy of Finland (2022-2026) is focusing on emissions of reactive nitrogen gases (HONO and NO) from northern peatlands under changing climate (acronym ERNO). Both gases play a significant role in the atmospheric chemistry, HONO as a source of cleaning agent hydroxyl radical and NO

ACCC-I4 Seminaarisarja: Ilmastoneutraalit ja -kestävät kaupungit

ACCC event /

Ilmastonmuutos on aikamme suurimpia haasteita. Sen ratkaisemiseksi meidän on sekä vähennettävä päästöjä että sopeuduttava niihin muutoksiin, joita ei voida enää estää. Lisäksi uudet ilmanlaatua koskevat määräykset asettavat erittäin korkeat vaatimukset paikallisten ilman epäpuhtauksien vähentämiselle. YK:n mukaan 68 prosenttia maailman väestöstä asuu kaupungeissa, ja kaupungistumisen vuoksi osuuden ennustetaan kasvavan tulevaisuu­des­sa. Siksi suuri osa hillitsemis- ja sopeutumistyöstä
