Atmospheric pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition

Dry particle deposition and wet particle deposition are important processes for pollutants that are strongly associated with aerosols in the atmosphere. For example, heavy metals released from natural and anthropogenic sources are completely associated with aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Organic chemicals with low vapor pressure are also strongly associated with aerosol particles in the atmosphere, and are thus subject to dry and wet particle deposition. Because of the importance of partitioning between aerosols and the gas phase to the process of wet and dry particle deposition, we briefly review estimation methods below.
