a Mean elemental ratios of chloride to sodium (Cl/Na) as a function of particle size for NaCl, glutaric acid (GA)–NaCl, and malonic acid (MA)–NaCl particles with varying molar ratios. Dash lines represent the nominal value of Cl/Na = 1 in pure NaCl particles. Error bars correspond to a standard deviation of 1. Reprinted with permission from Ghorai et al. 45.

Black solid diamonds represent the reference data for pure NaNO3 particles. Dash lines represent the nominal value of N/Na = 1 in pure NaNO3 particles.
