Effects of uncertainties in the thermodynamic properties of aerosol components in an air quality model ─ Part 1: Treatment of inorganic electrolytes and organic compounds in the condensed phase

Air quality models that generate the concentrations of semi-volatile and other condensable organic compounds using an explicit reaction mechanism require estimates of the physical and thermodynamic properties of the compounds that affect gas/aerosol partitioning: vapour pressure (as a subcooled liqu...
