Short summary
The chemical properties of aerosols in the atmosphere significantly influence their impact on global climate and human health. The current study constructed an instrumental system (HEAC (high-efficiency aerosol collector)/ESI (electrospray ionisation)-Orbitrap-MS (mass spectrometer)) for the real-time chemical analysis of aerosol samples. The combined system successfully identified over 30 chemical compounds in aerosol samples in real time, showing the robustness of the technique for the chemical characterisation of aerosols under atmospherically relevant conditions.
