Source sentences:
text: Very small sea salt aerosols, which are below the critical diameter for droplet activation at low supersaturations, can serve as nuclei for the growth of sulfate particles, while larger sea salt particles serve as a sink for gaseous hydrogen sulfate (H 2 SO 4 ) molecules, reducing the amount of sulfate available for the formation of accumulation mode particles.
