Aerosolstudier
Aerosolstudier, or aerosol science, is the interdisciplinary study of aerosols—substances composed of tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in a gas. The field investigates sources and formation, physical and chemical properties, transport and transformation processes, and the effects of aerosols on health, the environment, and climate.
Aerosols originate from natural processes such as dust storms, sea spray, volcanic emissions, and biological aerosols,
Measurement and analysis combine in-situ methods and remote sensing. Instruments commonly used include optical particle counters,
Applications span air quality management, occupational hygiene, climate research, and pharmaceutical inhalation therapy. Aerosol findings inform
Education and research occur in universities, national laboratories, and environmental agencies worldwide. Key challenges include measurement
