Aerosols are tiny particles or droplets suspended in the air. They can be natural, like dust and sea spray, or man-made, such as smoke and pollution from vehicles. Aerosols play a significant role in the atmosphere, affecting weather patterns and air quality. These particles can influence climate by reflecting sunlight and forming clouds. Some aerosols, like sulfate aerosols, can cool the Earth, while others, like black carbon, can contribute to warming. Understanding aerosols is essential for studying climate change and improving public health.
