airborne particulates"Solid particles suspended in the air. Larger particles (>100 μm approximately) have terminal velocities greater than about 0.5 m s−1 and fall out quickly.

airborne particulates Total suspended matter found in the atmosphere as solid pieces or liquid droplets.

Airborne particulates produced as a combustion product. These affect air quality, and their emission and ambient concentration is often regulated.

Because of the temperature structure, very little overturning of air takes place, either within the stratosphere, or with the troposphere (except in the special case of rapidly developing storms of various kinds), and once gases, particulates etc.

is deflected in one direction, some particles and molecules found in the atmosphere have the ability to scatter solar radiation in all directions. The particles/molecules which scatter light are called scatterers and can also include particulates ...

of the atmosphere is influenced for a period of time (usually 4 or more consecutive days) by high pressure, an inversion layer, calm or little wind, no frontal passages and no measurable precipition. In these conditions, aersols and particulates ...
