An important current problem is attaining sufficient understanding of atmospheric aerosol dynamics to develop mathematical models capable of relating emission reductions of primary gaseous and particulate pollutants to changes in ambient aerosol loadings and thereby to improvements in visibility and health effects. These models involve thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and chemical kinetics in an intricate equilibrium and... 

The negative temperature anomaly in the 1992-93 has been explained as that the massive aerosol loading in the atmosphere due to the eruption of the Pinatubo Mountain in July 1991 causes the worldwide cooling at the sxrrface by strong reflectance of solar radiation. This effect could induce the ocean sirrface temperatxure drop, which in turn help uptake of the CO2 [1]. However,...

There is a need today to quantify the effects of aerosol sources on ambient particulate matter loadings. Identifying the major sources of ambient particulate matter loadings was a fairly simple process when values exceeded 500 /ig/m and stack emissions were plainly visible. Control of these emitters was forthcoming and effective. At levels of 150 to 200 fxg/w , the use of annual emission inventories focused further regulatory efforts on major sources which have resulted in more successful reductions. Presently, at levels around 75-100 /ig/m, the uncertainties involved in these assessments of source contributions are greater than the contributions themselves.
