abstract = {Interaction of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOC)
with anthropogenic VOC affects the physicochemical
properties of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). We
investigated cloud droplet activation (CCN activity),
droplet growth kinetics, and hygroscopicity of mixed
anthropogenic and biogenic SOA (ABSOA) compared to pure
biogenic SOA (BSOA) and pure anthropogenic SOA (ASOA).
Selected monoterpenes and aromatics were used as
representative precursors of BSOA and ASOA, respectively.We
found that BSOA, ASOA, and ABSOA had similar CCN activity
despite the higher oxygen to carbon ratio (O/C) of ASOA
compared to BSOA and ABSOA. For individual reaction systems,
CCN activity increased with the degree of oxidation. Yet,
when considering all different types of SOA together, the
hygroscopicity parameter, κCCN, did not correlate with O/C.
Droplet growth kinetics of BSOA, ASOA, and ABSOA was
comparable to that of (NH4)2SO4, which indicates that there
was no delay in the water uptake for these SOA in
supersaturated conditions.In contrast to CCN activity, the
hygroscopicity parameter from hygroscopic tandem
differential mobility analyzer (HTDMA) measurement, κHTDMA,
of ASOA was distinctively higher (0.09–0.10) than that of
BSOA (0.03–0.06), which was attributed to the higher
degree of oxidation of ASOA. The ASOA components in mixed
ABSOA enhanced aerosol hygroscopicity. Changing the ASOA
fraction by adding BVOC to ASOA or vice versa AVOC to BSOA
changed the hygroscopicity of aerosol, in line with the
change in the degree of oxidation of aerosol. However, the
hygroscopicity of ABSOA cannot be described by a simple
linear combination of pure BSOA and ASOA systems. This
indicates that additional processes, possibly
oligomerization, affected the hygroscopicity.Closure
analysis of CCN and HTDMA data showed κHTDMA was lower than
κCCN by 30–70 $\%.$ Better closure was achieved for ASOA
compared to BSOA. This discrepancy can be attributed to
several reasons. ASOA seemed to have higher solubility in
subsaturated conditions and/or higher surface tension at the
activation point than that of BSOA.},
