Abstract
The gas phase of Earth's atmosphere is in contact with many liquid interfaces: marine and aquatic surface waters, clouds, fogs, and aqueous aerosol particles. The composition of such interfaces determines the chemical and physical interactions of gases in the atmosphere with the condensed phase. This chapter will survey a range of scenarios where gas–liquid interfaces play a key role in environmental and atmospheric chemistry. In several areas, knowledge of the detailed structure of surfactant films limits our understanding, such as in the kinetics of heterogeneous chemical reactions or the surface tension of aerosol particles as they undergo cloud droplet formation. Development of the fundamental physical chemistry of gas–liquid interfaces in chemically complex systems is critical for improving our ultimate ability to predict the outcomes for a multitude of processes in the environment.
