Climate science : When different salts occurring in atmospheric particles combine during a coagulation process and interact with humid air, some reactions can take place and modify the salt composition (see picture). The hygroscopicity of certain salts favors the formation of a liquid H 2 O film on the solid material. The salts partially dissolve and the ions can react with each other.
