Aerosols long distance travel

The aerosols emitted during biomass burning can travel long distances. Figure 3 2 shows a three-dimensional trajectory analysis for aerosol emissions during the dry season (Freitas et al. 1997). From each biomass burning spot, the air masses that transport the aerosol particles and trace gases stay at... 

Levsen et al. 1990), at least partial removal of these compounds occurs by physical processes. Because of faster rates of travel, unreacted vapor-phase dinitrophenols in the atmosphere have a greater chance to be transported longer distances than dinitrophenols present as aerosols. No monitoring data, however, are available to substantiate long-distance atmospheric transport of dinitrophenols.
