Aerosol particles play important roles in radiation transport within the atmosphere, as toxic substances, as cloud condensation nuclei, and as vehicles for long range transport of various substances.

Low-cost, DIY air purifiers are proving to be just as effective as expensive commercial units at protecting indoor spaces ...

The physical and chemical properties of aerosol particles and trace gases effect the air quality and climate. It’s important to understand how atmospheric aerosols form and the role they play in the ...

Investigations in the Health Physics and Medical Division at AERE, Harwell, into the behaviour of inhaled radioactive aerosol particles in the human respiratory tract have started—with the ...

Understanding the mechanisms through which aerosol particles form and grow is critical for constraining a planet’s energy budget, however, our knowledge of the key processes governing particle ...

An unplanned experiment takes scientists closer to solving a long-standing mystery: To what extent, if any, have ...

Aerosol science, the study of airborne particles from the nanometre to the millimetre scale, has been increasingly in the public consciousness in recent years, particularly due to the role played by ...

Aerosols directly influence the earth’s radiation balance by reflecting some of the sunlight back into space. But aerosol particles with dark surfaces (like soot) can also absorb visible light and ...

The mipTOF mass spectrometer provides innovative real-time analysis of metal aerosols, improving understanding of their ...

New Delhi's air pollution is more severe than previously estimated, with particles absorbing atmospheric water vapor, leading to particulate matter levels across the city being underestimated by up to ...
