Dependence of inorganic ions on thiol spontaneous oxidation in aerosol microdroplets

Key Points

• Spontaneous oxidation of thiols is significantly influenced by the presence of inorganic ions, indicating complex interplays.
• Key evidence shows a notable increase in thiol oxidation rates correlating with inorganic ion concentration levels.
• Observational analysis reveals interactions occurring within aerosol microdroplets under varying ionic conditions.
• These findings highlight the need for further exploration of chemical dynamics in atmospheric environments.
