Abstract

To explain the spa al and temporal distribu on of atmospheric aerosols over the southern US both biogenic vola le organic compounds (BVOC) and anthropogenic aerosols emissions should be taken into account. With the purpose of understanding their relationship the search site in Centreville (AL) was chosen to be the main monitoring loca on in the SOAS campagn, from June 1 to July 15 of 2013. This area is surrounded by a predominantly isoprene forest and experiences strong anthropogenic/biogenic constrasts. Chemically dins ct air masses ( NH3 or SO2 or NOx-dominated) impact this area. We characterised the organic and inorganic chemical composition of the fine aerosol fraction and the gas-particle partitioning of important chemical species.

Particulates

Particulates or atmospheric particulate matter (see below for other names) are microscopic particles of solid or liquid matter suspended in the air. The term aerosol commonly refers to the particulate/air mixture, as opposed to the particulate matter alone. Sources of particulate matter can be natural or anthropogenic. They have impacts on climate and precipitation that adversely affect human health, in ways additional to direct inhalation.

Aerosol

An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Aerosols can be natural or anthropogenic. Examples of natural aerosols are fog or mist, dust, forest exudates, and geyser steam. Examples of anthropogenic aerosols include particulate air pollutants, mist from the discharge at hydroelectric dams, irrigation mist, perfume from atomizers, smoke, dust, steam from a kettle, sprayed pesticides, and medical treatments for respiratory illnesses.

Stratospheric aerosol injection

Stratospheric aerosol injection is a proposed method of solar geoengineering (or solar radiation modification) to reduce global warming. This would introduce aerosols into the stratosphere to create a cooling effect via global dimming and increased albedo, which occurs naturally from volcanic winter. It appears that stratospheric aerosol injection, at a moderate intensity, could counter most changes to temperature and precipitation, take effect rapidly, have low direct implementation costs, and be reversible in its direct climatic effects.
