Discovery of mechanism for atmospheric particle formation suggests need for ammonia emission regulations

Green Car Congress

The findings suggest that in addition to carbon dioxide, there are other compounds in need of attention and regulation. The presence of ammonia was first discovered in the upper troposphere in 2016 using the analysis of averaged MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) infrared limb-emission spectra.
