Physics and Chemistry of Atmospheric Aerosol
 
An introduction to the current knowledge of physics and chemistry of atmospheric aerosols, which are comprised of a complex mixture of a variety of organic and inorganic substances that can be of primary or secondary nature and span several orders of magnitude in size. Topics include size distribution, dynamics, thermo-dynamics, optical properties, mass concentration, chemical composition, emission sources, formation and transformation processes, the impacts on visibility and climate change of atmospheric aerosols.
