The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

The book is devoted to airborne particles and their impact on climate, health and the
atmosphere. Reviews and evaluations of the best methods available for analysis of …

Air pollution and global warming are two of the greatest threats to human and animal health
and political stability. The primary global warming pollutants are, in order, carbon dioxide …

Aerosols could play a critical role in many processes which impact on our lives either
indirectly (eg, climate) or directly (eg, health). However, our ability to assess these possible …

Aerosols are of central importance for atmospheric chemistry and physics, the biosphere,
climate, and public health. The airborne solid and liquid particles in the nanometer to …

Results of recent research show that particulate matter (PM) composition and size vary
widely with both space and time. Despite the variability in PM characteristics, which are …

Aerosols represent an important component of the Earth's atmosphere. Because aerosols
are composed of solid and liquid particles of varying chemical complexity, size, and phase …

This chapter provides an introduction to atmospheric aerosols by offering a definition and
discussing various ways of categorizing and characterizing aerosols. The natural and …

Environmental context Atmospheric aerosols have profound effects on the environment
through several physicochemical processes, such as absorption and scattering of sunlight …

Aerosol particles represent a significant component of the Earth's atmosphere and
profoundly impact global and regional climate, by absorbing and scattering radiation as well …
