Cloud droplet activation of saccharides and levoglucosan particles

This study is focused on the ability of water-soluble organic compounds from wood combustion to act as cloud condensation nuclei. In particular, we have studied glucose, fructose, and mannose (monosaccharides), lactose, maltose, and sucrose (disaccharides) and levoglucosan. Critical supersaturations...
