Aerosols

Aerosols are tiny particles or droplets suspended in the air, originating from natural sources like dust, sea spray, and volcanic emissions, or human activities such as pollution from factories and vehicles. These particles can influence climate by affecting sunlight reflection and heat absorption, and they can also impact air quality and health when inhaled. Aerosols vary in size and composition, and their behavior depends on environmental conditions. They play a significant role in atmospheric processes, including cloud formation and weather patterns.
