According to recent research published in the journal Boreal Environment Research, "To understand the very first steps of atmospheric particle formation and growth, measurements at the size where atmospheric nucleation occurs are crucially needed. We present number size distributions of > 0.8 nm ions and > 1.8 nm particles measured with the Neutral cluster and Air Ion Spectrometer (NAIS) at a boreal forest site in Hyyatiala, Finland, during 2006-2007."
"Pools of neutral and charged clusters seem to be present all the time below 3 mn. The total concentration of 1.8-3.0 nm clusters was similar to 1000 cm(-3), ranging from 50 to 6000 cm(-3), whereas the ...
