Atmospheric aerosols have important role in the biogeochemistry and transportation of metals in the atmosphere. On a mass basis, trace metals represent relatively small proportion of the aerosol (generally less than 1 %). Among them are transition metals, which have several oxidation states, and thus can participate in many important atmospheric redox reactions and so influence free radical budget in atmospheric liquid phase. The source of trace metals in atmospheric water is the dissolution of aerosols. The solubility of metal aerosols is influenced by many factors.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1167099In the frame of INTROP a concluding conference was organized in April 2009 in Portorož, Slovenia. The emphasis of the conference was on the research of the last five years in the frame of the main INTROP topics such as: prediction of the atmospheric fate of complex pollutants; aerosols and global change; biological aerosols; aging, processing and functionalisation; organic coatings and surface (photo)chemistry, tropospheric aqueous phase chemistry; advanced measurement techniques, etc. 80 well-known scientists from Europe as well as from USA and Canada participated this meeting.
