“…The first atmospheric observations of new particle formation are due to Aitken (1900), who later (Aitken, 1913) proposed that atmospheric NPF essentially follows from photolytic reactions (referring to Tyndall's work here), leading to gas-phase oxidation of SO 2 to H 2 SO 4 , which then together with ammonia and water vapor forms new particlesthe effect of electrochemical formation of ozone and subsequent enhancement of condensation due to inorganic acid build-up was already demonstrated by von Helmholtz and Richarz (1890). The first continuous measurements, reporting longer times related to atmospheric NPF were, however, obtained on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.…”

“…7. To some extent, one can say so about Robert von Helmholtz as well, though in this case, fewer mentions to his contributions in modern literature stem mainly from his untimely death during the work reported by Richarz (Von Helmholtz and Richarz, 1890). A short description Barus' work in relation to atmospheric NPF is given below.…”

Atmospheric aerosols have been a subject to scientific interest at least since the Age of Enlightenment, including theories concerning the origins of atmospheric haze and dust. Early studies associated haze with geological sourcesearthquakes and volcanismwhich were believed to be related to the chemistry of sulphuric compounds. Thus, sulphuric acid became the strongest candidate to explain atmospheric new particle formation. The idea was carried over when the first quantitative studies of condensation nuclei and atmospheric chemistry took place during the later part of the 19th century. Laboratory and field measurements by von Helmholtz, Aitken, Kiessling, and Barus, among others, a century ago led to the conclusion that widespread new particle formation occurs in the atmosphere and is caused by sulphuric acid together with water and ammoniaa viewpoint, which has been rediscovered and expanded during the past 25 years.
