Abstract
Triacylglycerol lipases have recently been shown to be transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere in atmospheric sea spray aerosol (SSA). Lipases have the potential to alter the composition of SSA; however, the structure and properties of enzymes in the high salt, high ionic strength, and low pH conditions found in SSA have never been explored. Here, we study the dynamics of Burkholderia cepacia triacylglycerol lipase (BCL) at SSA model surfaces comprised of palmitic acid and dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid (DPPA), two commonly found lipids at SSA surfaces. Surface adsorption Langmuir isotherm experiments and all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations together illuminate how and why BCL expands the ordering of lipids at palmitic acid surfaces the most at pH < 4 and the least in DPPA surfaces at pH 6. Taken together, these results represent a first glimpse into the complex interplay between lipid surface structure and protein dynamics within enzyme-containing aerosols.

Abstract
Materials with core-shell structures have distinct properties that lend themselves to a variety of potential applications. Characterization of small particle core-shell materials presents a unique analytical challenge. Herein, single particles of solid-state materials with core-shell structures were measured using on-line aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS). Laser 'depth profiling' experiments verified the core-shell nature of two known core-shell particle configurations (<2 μm diameter) that possessed inverted, complimentary core-shell compositions (ZrO2@SiO2 versus SiO2@ZrO2). The average peak area ratios of Si and Zr ions were calculated to definitively show their core-shell composition. These ratio curves acted as a calibrant for an uncharacterized sample – a metal-organic framework (MOF) material surround by silica (UiO-66(Zr)@SiO2; UiO = University of Oslo). ATOFMS depth profiling was used to show that these particles did indeed exhibit a core-shell architecture. The results presented here show that ATOFMS can provide unique insights into core-shell solid-state materials with particle diameters between 0.2-3 μm.

Abstract
In ambient field studies conducted with aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS), individual particle mass spectra commonly contain ion peaks at mass/charge (m/z) 86, 101, 102, and 118. Particles with mass spectra containing these peaks show a strong correlation with high relative humidity and low temperatures. In an effort to identify these peaks, a series of smog chamber studies were conducted probing the chemistry of secondary and tertiary alkylamines. Specifically, in separate studies, trimethylamine, di- and triethylamine, and di- and tripropylamine were reacted in a 1 m3 Teflon outdoor smog chamber with naturally occurring levels of gas phase oxidants in ambient air. The aerodynamic sizes and individual mass spectra of the resulting aerosol particles were acquired continuously using aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS). Both oxidation and acid-base reactions between amines and acids commonly present in the atmosphere (i.e., nitric and sulfuric acid) appear to play roles in the formation and chemistry of organic nitrogen-containing particle phase species. Ion peaks in the individual particle mass spectra indicate the presence of alkyl ammonium salts, as well as other tentatively identified organic N-containing compounds formed by oxidation processes. Also, for the first time, tertiary alkylamine-N-oxides have been identified as alkylamine oxidation products in the aerosol particle phase. Smog chamber reactions involving triethylamine produce ATOFMS mass spectra with similar ion peak combinations as those observed in the spectra of particles commonly detected in ambient and vehicular source characterization studies. The results of this study suggest that amine chemistry involving gas-to-particle conversion and photooxidation processes may play a significant role in particle formation in regions with high amine concentrations.

Abstract
Aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS) is capable of measuring the sizes and chemical compositions of individual polydisperse aerosol particles in real time. A qualitative estimate of the particle composition is acquired in the form of a mass spectrum that must be subsequently interpreted in order to draw conclusions regarding atmospheric relevance. The actual problem involves developing a calibration that allows the mass spectral data to be transformed into estimates of the composition of the atmospheric aerosol. A properly calibrated ATOFMS system should be able to quantitatively determine atmospheric concentrations of various species. Ideally, it would be able to accomplish this more rapidly, accurately, with higher size and time resolution, and at a far lower marginal cost than the manual sampling methods that are currently employed. Attempts have already been made at using ATOFMS and similar techniques to extract the bulk chemical species concentration present in an ensemble of particles. This study represents the use of a multivariate calibration method, two-dimensional partial least-squares analysis, for calibrating single-particle mass spectral data. The method presented here is far less labor-intensive than the univariate methods attempted to date and allows for less observer bias. Because of the labor savings, this is also the most comprehensive calibration performed to date, resulting in the quantification of 44 different chemical species.

Abstract
The source apportionment accuracy of a neural network algorithm (ART-2a) is tested on the basis of its application to synthetic single-particle data generated by a source-oriented aerosol processes trajectory model that simulates particle emission, transport, and chemical reactions in the atmosphere. ART-2a successfully groups particles from the majority of sources actually present, when given complete data on ambient particle composition at monitoring sites located near the emission sources. As particles age in the atmosphere, accumulation of gas-to-particle conversion products can act to disguise the source of the primary core of the particles. When ART-2a is applied to synthetic single-particle data that are modified to simulate the biases in aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS) measurements, best results are obtained using the ATOFMS dual ion operating mode that simultaneously yields both positive and negative ion mass spectra. The results of this study suggest that the use of continuous single-particle measurements coupled with neural network algorithms can significantly improve the time resolution of particulate matter source apportionment.

Abstract
The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) was an international, multiplatform field campaign to measure long-range transport of air pollution from South and Southeast Asia toward the Indian Ocean during the dry monsoon season in January to March 1999. Surprisingly high pollution levels were observed over the entire northern Indian Ocean toward the Intertropical Convergence Zone at about 6 degrees S. We show that agricultural burning and especially biofuel use enhance carbon monoxide concentrations. Fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning cause a high aerosol loading. The growing pollution in this region gives rise to extensive air quality degradation with local, regional, and global implications, including a reduction of the oxidizing power of the atmosphere.

Abstract
Real-time single particle mass spectrometry, or continuous aerosol mass spectrometry, was originally developed in the 1970s for the purpose of identifying the chemical composition of airborne particulate matter in real-time. Although this technique has continued to evolve throughout the following decades, the fundamental characteristic of this method remains the same, involving the continuous introduction of solid particle or liquid droplets directly into the ion source region of a mass spectrometer. Continuous sample introduction allows for the chemical analysis of single airborne particles in real-time. A number of mass analyzers have been employed in real-time single particle mass spectrometry. The original real-time single particle mass spectrometer used a magnetic sector mass analyzer. Quadrupole, double-focusing, and ion trap mass spectrometers have also been utilized. The majority of the current real-time single particle mass spectrometry techniques use time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In the literature, a variety of general names have been applied to real-time single particle mass spectrometry methods. These names include direct-inlet mass spectrometry, on-line laser microprobe mass spectrometry, particle analysis by mass spectrometry, particle beam mass spectrometry, and rapid-single particle mass spectrometry. This review covers real-time single particle mass spectrometry techniques that were developed from 1973 through 1998, specifically for analyzing airborne particulate matter, including environmental aerosols, biological aerosols, and clean-room aerosols. Because the majority of the historical and current real-time single particle mass spectrometers have been employed for atmospheric aerosols, this topic is the primary focus of this review. This review does not include on-line mass spectrometry methods that are employed as a detector for other instrumental methods, such as liquid chromatography.

Abstract
A variety of factors have been investigated with regard to the quantitation of chemical species within individual ambient aerosol particles analyzed by laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Spectrum to spectrum differences in the interaction of the particle with the ionization laser beam, which affect the absolute peak areas in the mass spectra, can be minimized by using relative peak areas instead of absolute peak areas in each spectrum. Whereas absolute peak areas vary by an average of 59% for a given ion peak in single particle mass spectra of a monodisperse aerosol of particles formed from the same solution, relative peak areas in the same mass spectra vary only by an average of 16%. Relative sensitivity factors (RSF) relating the mass spectral ion intensity of NH4+ and the alkali metal cations Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ in single particle aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry to their bulk concentrations have been determined. The values for Li+/Na+, K+/Na+, Rb+/Na+, Cs+/Na+, and NH4+/Na+ are found to be 0.14, 5.1, 6.0, 7.9, and 0.014, respectively. The higher response for heavier cations of the alkali metals is consistent with the periodic trends of both ionization potential and lattice energies of the species of interest. The response factor for sodium and potassium cations has been used to accurately determine the relative amounts of Na+ and K+ in sea-salt particles, by analyzing a sample of approximately 360 ambient sea-salt particles. The relative amounts of Na+ and K+ are found to be 97 and 3% in particles, respectively, whereas in seawater they are, on average, 98 and 2%.

Abstract
The heterogeneous replacement of chloride by nitrate in individual sea-salt particles was monitored continuously over time in the troposphere with the use of aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Modeling calculations show that the observed chloride displacement process is consistent with a heterogeneous chemical reaction between sea-salt particles and gas-phase nitric acid, leading to sodium nitrate production in the particle phase accompanied by liberation of gaseous HCl from the particles. Such single-particle measurements, combined with a single-particle model, make it possible to monitor and explain heterogeneous gas/particle chemistry as it occurs in the atmosphere.
