Secondary inorganic aerosol components (sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium) constitute a significant part of atmospheric PM mass and impact aerosol acidity. Aerosol nitrate and ammonium are mainly formed through gas-to-particle conversion processes of nitric acid (HNO3) and ammonia (NH3), while for sulf...
