• An interdisciplinary team is studying how
  atmospheric gases react at the liquid interface
  with solutions found in airborne particles. The
  group of chemists and engineers is studying how
  gases such as SO2, NO2, N2O4, HNO3, CO2 and HCl
  bind to solvated systems, e.g., sodium chloride
  in sea salt, how their chemistry is affected by
  the liquid phase composition, and what the
  potential atmospheric impacts are, on a local to
  global scale.
• Five UC Irvine investigators and two
  international collaborators are funded through
  this Collaborative Research in Chemistry grant
  Barbara Finlayson-Pitts (atmospheric chemistry),
  Donald Dabdub (airshed modeling), Benny Gerber
  (chemical reaction dynamics), John Hemminger
  (surface chemistry), Doug Tobias (molecular
  dynamics simulations), Leon Phillips (New
  Zealand, interfacial processes) and Pavel
  Jungwirth (Czech Republic, molecular dynamics
  simulations).
