Chemical reactions, mass transport and phase transitions between gases, liquids and solids are essential for climate and public health. A novel kinetic model for gas-particle interactions in aerosols and clouds was developed, which has been applied for various processes including formation of organic aerosols, water uptake and ice nucleation of glassy aerosols. Multiphase reactions can lead to formation and transformation of hazardous aerosol components such as reactive oxygen species and allergenic proteins. I present our recent results on such topics by combining kinetic modeling and laboratory experiments.
