Atmospheric aerosols impact both climate and human health. The identification and quantification of their sources is the first step in designing mitigation strategies. Fast (seconds to hours) chemical composition measurements as provided by mass spectrometers are a crucial tool in source apportionment of atmospheric aerosols. They allow the investigation of emission and formation processes, which usually take place on short time scales. Recent insights into aerosol source apportionment across Europe, aerosol formation processes from gaseous precursors, and the composition of aerosol particles active in cloud formation processes will be presented.
