Short summary

We provide a comprehensive and critical review of laboratory studies of heterogeneous uptake of OH, NO₃, O₃, and their directly related species by mineral dust particles. The atmospheric importance of heterogeneous uptake as sinks for these species is also assessed. In addition, we have outlined major open questions and challenges in this field and discussed research strategies to address them.
