Abstract
Deliquescence relative humidity (DRH) and efflorescence relative humidity (ERH), the two parameters that regulate phase state and hygroscopicity of substances, play important roles in atmospheric science and many other fields. A large number of experimental studies have measured the DRH and ERH values of compounds with atmospheric relevance, but these values have not yet been summarized in a comprehensive manner. In this work, we develop for the first-of-its-kind a comprehensive database which compiles the DRH and ERH values of 110 compounds (68 inorganics and 42 organics) measured in previous studies, provide the preferred DRH and ERH values at 298 K for these compounds, and discuss the effects of a few key factors (e.g., temperature and particle size) on the measured DRH and ERH values. In addition, we outline future work that will broaden the scope of this database and enhance its accessibility.
