About us

The atmosphere is an aerosol, consisting of air and a variety of solid and liquid microparticle substances. Aerosol particles in the atmosphere have many relevant effects, mainly impacts on the Earth's climate (e.g. reflection/absorption of radiation, influencing cloud processes), on nutrient cycles (such as input of iron into oceans) or on human health (respiratory diseases, input of toxic materials), but also on technical processes (impairment of solar systems) or monument preservation (damage to building structures).
