PhD The influence of microscopic life (phytoplankton, bacteria, viruses) on the formation and stability of sea foam and sea spray aerosols Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
Sea spray aerosols are microscopic droplets of seawater that are formed by bubble bursting at the ocean surface. They play a major role in cloud formation, climate, and are suspected to affect human health after inhalation. Until now, research at VLIZ and Ghent University has focused on the presence and human health effects of biogenic chemicals inside sea spray aerosols. We found that the enrichment of marine biogenic chemicals inside sea ...
