Lecture 07. Aerosol particles in the boundary layer and polluted smog Lesson
Key issues:
- Aerosol particles: cause more health problems than gases
- Characteristic: diameter, number concentration, mass concentration
- Mixing state, composition, morphology, shapes
- Size distribution: 3-5 modes & sub-modes
- Sources: natural & anthropogenic
- Number concentration: changeable
- Transformations: coagulation, growth, removal
- Aerosol particles dynamics: condensation, dissolution, dissociation, hydration
- Environmental impacts and health effects
