StarStarStarStar

Sulfate Aerosol Particles

StarStarStarStar

Reflect solar radiation, cool the Earth's surface, and form cloud condensation nuclei.

StarStarStarStar

Mineral Dust

StarStarStarStar

Provides surfaces for heterogeneous reactions, influences cloud properties, and can affect climate systems.

StarStarStarStar

Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOAs)

StarStarStarStar

Form from precursor gases and affect both visibility and cloud condensation nuclei.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrate Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Scatter solar radiation, affect cloud formation, and can lead to ecosystem eutrophication.

StarStarStarStar

Ammonium Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Contribute to aerosol mass and can form secondary aerosols with other compounds.

StarStarStarStar

Metallic Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Result from industrial processes, affect atmospheric chemistry, and can be toxic to human health.

StarStarStarStar

Ice Nucleating Particles

StarStarStarStar

Facilitate the formation of ice crystals in clouds, affecting precipitation and cloud lifetime.

StarStarStarStar

Anthropogenic Secondary Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Form from human activities and impact visibility, human health, and climate radiative forcing.

StarStarStarStar

Black Carbon (Soot)

StarStarStarStar

Absorbs light and warms the atmosphere, reduces albedo when deposited on ice, and can affect cloud properties.

StarStarStarStar

Particulate Organic Matter (POM)

StarStarStarStar

Contributes to the organic fraction of aerosols, affects cloud condensation, and impacts air quality.

StarStarStarStar

Sea Salt Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Act as cloud condensation nuclei, affect the Earth's radiation budget, and engage in chemical reactions in the atmosphere.

StarStarStarStar

Radioactive Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Originate from nuclear events, can have long-term environmental impacts, and affect atmospheric radiation.

StarStarStarStar

Organic Carbon Particles

StarStarStarStar

Scatter solar radiation, provide cloud condensation nuclei, and can contribute to warming or cooling.

StarStarStarStar

Volcanic Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Can cause global cooling, influence ozone chemistry, and affect aviation safety.

StarStarStarStar

Biological Aerosols

StarStarStarStar

Can influence cloud properties, act as ice nucleating particles, and have health implications.
