Summary

We present hygroscopicity measurements for a broad range of multi-functional aliphatic and aromatic compounds, mimicking the complexity of species found in the atmosphere. Experimental data are compared with predictions from group contribution models, showing some model refinement is possible for the aromatic species.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
