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.
Why might people get confused about aerosols being the reason for ozone depletion?
Aerosols do contribute to depletion. They contain CFC's which deplete ozone.
How do particulates cause global warming?
Particulates, like black carbon and sulfate aerosols, can contribute to global warming by absorbing sunlight and trapping heat in the atmosphere. When they settle on snow and ice, they can reduce their reflective properties, causing them to absorb more heat and melt faster. Additionally, particulates can indirectly affect climate by influencing cloud formation and precipitation patterns.
How aerosols contribute to ozone depletion?
Aerosols contain CFC's. They react with ozone and deplete it.
How do particulates and aerosols enter the atmosphere?
Particulates and aerosols enter the atmosphere through natural processes such as volcanic eruptions, dust storms, and wildfires. They can also be released into the atmosphere by human activities like burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and vehicle emissions. Once in the atmosphere, they can be transported over long distances by wind and weather patterns.
What is city aerosol?
The majority of aerosols (particulates suspended in a gas) in a city are from vehicles, and from industrial processes, and some could be from burning of fossil fuels for heating.
What factors other than smog contribute to global dimming?
Aerosols
What would a compressed air filter be used for?
A compressed air filter is a device used to remove contaminated air. For example, a compressed air filter can be used to remove oil aerosols and solid particulates.
What do particulates in cigarettes do?
Particulates are another name for fine debris or soot. They are often the byproducts of burning things, such as diesel fuel or cigarettes. They serve no real purpose, but they do irritate the lungs and can contribute to lung disease or cancer.
What is the death rate of people who take particulates?
I do not think that word (particulates) means what you think it means. Please check, and repost your question.
What has the author Sherman U Smith written?
Sherman U. Smith has written: 'A review of concentrations, chemical composition, size distribution, and health effects related to inorganic inhalable particulates in Illinois' -- subject(s): Aerosols, Air quality, Environmental aspects of Aerosols, Environmental aspects of Trace elements, Toxicology, Trace elements
What are tiny solid and liquid particles suspened in the atmosphere called?
Tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere are called aerosols. These particles can come from various sources such as industrial activities, dust, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires, and can affect air quality and climate.
