Hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) Formation during Summertime Fog in an Arctic Oil Field ...
Hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) is produced in the aqueous-phase reaction of formaldehyde (HCHO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) and has been proposed as a significant contributor to midlatitude wintertime pollution events. Here we report HMS detection within submicrometer atmospheric aerosols during frequen...
