Model Studies on the Size Distribution Dynamics of Atmospheric Aerosols
Understanding the dynamic processes shaping the atmospheric aerosol particle size distribution is essential in order to evaluate the effect of the particles on environmental issues such as climate change, and human health. This thesis employs process-oriented aerosol models to investigate the formation and growth mechanisms of atmospheric nanosized particles. Model studies suggest that atmosphe...
متن کاملFactors influencing the size distribution of aerosols from jet nebulisers.
The size distribution of saline and bronchodilator (terbutaline) aerosol droplets generated from four widely used jet nebulisers (Acorn, Upmist, Turret, and Inspiron Mini-neb) has been measured with a Malvern 2200 Laser Particle Sizer. The mass median diameter of aerosol droplets generated by each nebuliser was strongly influenced by the driving flow rate of compressed air. By increasing the fl...
متن کاملWater Evaporation From Atmospheric Aerosols
With the recent discovery of the ubiquity of organic material in tropospheric aerosols, it has been postulated that the rates of water evaporation and condensation into the aerosols could be affected by thin surfactant films, which could ultimately affect cloud formation. Nathanson et al. have begun to study the effect of water evaporation from sulfuric acid solutions through the short-chain su...
متن کاملAtmospheric Aerosols: Formation and Growth
It is widely recognised that the increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane can potentially drive a significant warming process of the earth’s climate. However, a topic of more recent attention is the possibility that increased atmospheric concentrations of aerosol particles might drive a significant radiative forcing process of the planet (see,...
متن کاملAtmospheric aerosols alter oceanic activity
Atmospheric aerosols alter oceanic activity Oceans remain a key convergence point where anthropogenic and natural environmental effects can affect climate change and alter food chains. For example, mineral dust, soot, organic molecules, and other microscopic particles can become aerosolized in the atmosphere and provide nutrients and trace metals for phytoplankton in the open ocean.
