Impact of gas-to-particle partitioning approaches on the simulated radiative effects of biogenic secondary organic aerosol

The oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) gives a range of products, from semi-volatile to extremely low-volatility compounds.To treat the interaction of these secondary organic vapours with the particle phase, global aerosol microphysics models generally use either a thermodynamic partitioning approach (assuming instant equilibr

Minimizing Honey Bee Exposure to Pesticides

Protecting honey bees and other pollinators from pesticide impacts is important to the sustainability of agriculture.Consequently, pesticide applicators must determine if there is a clear hazard to managed or wild populations of bees.Potential exposure of bees to pesticides can vary greatly depending on the type of pesticide, formulation, applicati
