Unit 2: Particles

Aerosol particles have both natural and human (anthropogenic) sources.  They can be emitted directly into the air as primary aerosols or formed in the atmosphere as secondary aerosols.  Different aerosols have different chemical and physical properties, some play a key role in the formation and behaviour of clouds and on the climate system and others have an impact on human health.
