What are Aerool? Definition; Aerool are tiny particle upended in air, either in olid phae or liquid phae or both. Concentration; The highet concentration are uually found in urban area, reaching up to 10 8 and 10 9 particle per cc (Seinfeld and Pandi, 1998). Size; Aerool range in ize from around.001µm(molecular cluter) to 100 µm(mall rain drop) Aerool Source Primary and Secondary Sulfate, Soot Primary particle introduced directly into the atmophere (e.g. moke from combution) Secondary particle formed by chemical reaction in the atmophere (e.g. gato-particle converion) Natural and Anthropogenic Aerool Natural dominate in rural (remote) area Anthropogenic dominate in urban area 10µm 2.5µm Human Hair(65 µm diameter) Source; Thermo electron corporation Bioma Burning Sea Salt Source of Atmopheric Aerool Soil dut 1000-3000 1500 Sea alt 1000-10000 1300 Botanical debri 26-80 50 Volcanic dut 4-10000 30 Foret fire 3-150 20 Ga-to-particle converion 100-260 180 Photochemical 40-200 60 Total for natural ource 2200-24000 3100 ANTHROPOGENIC Direct emiion 50-160 120 Ga-to-particle converion 260-460 330 Photochemical 5-25 10 Total for anthropogenic ource Amount, Tg/yr [10 6 metric ton/yr] 320-640 460 Effect Of Aerool Direct effect Scattering and aborption of radiation Indirect effect Role in cloud micro phyic Clean cloud Large cloud droplet Low albedo Efficient precipitation Polluted cloud Small Cloud droplet High albedo Suppreed precipitation (Data from: W.C.
