Most aerosols (being a finely dispersed particle within a gas) are detected by an optical instrument of some kind. When the aerosol is passed through this type of measurement device, a light beam is broken or reflected by the particle and this registers a count. Often the machines are capable of determining the concentration of particles (number per volume of gas) and size the actual particle. Different machines work slightly differently, some condense (add a liquid) the particle to make it larger before detection. The majority of particle counters or aerosol spectrophotometer typical can measure particles bigger then 0.1µm (1/10000th mm), though more typically this value is 0.3µm. Cleans rooms use this technology regularly to check the aerosol content of the air, whilst in the vacuum cleaner industry we use these instruments to determine the capability of the filters and cyclones.

What happens to all of the energy that the earth receives from the sun?
Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
What is meant by salt in air?
This is a significant concentration of salt in air (as solid aerosols or NaCl solution aerosols)..
How long can aerosols and ash that erupt from a volcano stay in the upper atmosphere?
aerosols and ash can stay on the atmosphere for months or years.
How have aerosols affected ozone layer and what laws have been passed to protect the ozone layer?
Aerosols deplete the ozone by reacting with it. Ban on CFC's have been implemented.
What includes water droplets and droplets from volcanoes?
aerosols
Are aerosols a naturally occurring drug?
no, aerosols are very, very chemical.
Do aerosols contain chlorine compounds?
No, aerosols do not contain chlorine compounds.
What are the tiny solids and liquid droplets in the atmosphere?
Liquid droplets in air are called mists, smaller droplets are aerosols. Solid particulates are dust, smaller sized ar fumes.
What are aerosols doing to the ozone layer?
Aerosols are harming the ozone. They contain the synthetic CFC's.
Why are aerosols harmful to the ozone?
Aerosols contain CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
How aerosols contribute to ozone depletion?
Aerosols contain CFC's. They react with ozone and deplete it.
What happens to all of the energy that the earth receives from the sun?
Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
What are aerosols and why must you prevent their development?
Aerosols are gaseous delay of heat of fine solid or liquid particles
Do are-soles harm the ozone layer?
Yes they do. Aerosols react with ozone to harm it.
What is meant by salt in air?
This is a significant concentration of salt in air (as solid aerosols or NaCl solution aerosols)..
Do ryanair allow aerosols on aeroplanes?
You cannot legally take aerosols on any commercial airline in the World.
What do aerosoles help to form in the atmosphere?
In order for you (humans) to live, you need aerosols. aerosols are one of the three important things you need in order to have a water cycle. the aerosols keep the liquid water stay into a liquid water, so if we didn't have aerosols we wouldn't be able to drink water. hope this helped! :)
