Gas-to-particle conversion: Gas-to-particle conversion:
Certain gas phase reactions result in formation of low-vapor-pressure reaction products.
Because of their low vapor pressure, they exist at high supersaturations and can form particles.

Accumulation Mode (0.1 μm < particle size < 2.5 μm)
Includes combustion particles, smog particles, and coagulated nuclei-mode particles.(Smog particles are formed in the atmosphere by photochemical
reactions)
Particles in this mode are small but they coagulate too slowly to reach the coarse-particle mode.– they have a relatively long lifetime in the atmosphere– they account for most of the visibility effects of atmospheric
aerosols.
The nuclei and accumulation modes together constitute “fine” particles.

Distributions based on log Dp can be defined
n(log Dp)dlogDp is the number of particles in one cm3 with
diameter from Dp to Dp + log Dp.
The total number is:
N = n(log Dp) d(logDp) (particles cm-3 )
n (log Dp) = {dN} / {N dlogDp }
ns (log Dp) = {dS} / {S dlogDp }
nv (log Dp) = {dV} / {V dlogDp }
This is the common notation for expressing the variation in particle number, surface area or volume with the log of the diameter.

The scattering cross section is the product of the mass loading, and the surface area per unit mass; note the ln of 0.02 is about -3.9, thus
Visibility ≈ 3.9(bsp)-1
bsp = Sm
Where
bsp is the scattering coefficient in units of m-1
m is the mass loading in units of g m-3
S is the surface area per unit mass in units of m2g-1
For sulfate particles, S is about 3.2 m2 g-1 where the humidity is less than about 70%; for other materials it can be greater.
Visibility = 3.9/(3.2 m)

Normal conditions over Eastern US during an air pollution episode:

bap = 0.8 x 10-5 m-1
bext = 1.28 x 10-4 m-1

During blackout
bsp = 40 Mm-1 = 0.4 x 10-4 m-1

Example: Visibility improvement during the 2003 North American Blackout
Single scattering albedo, , normal = 1.20/1.28 = 0.94
Blackout = 0.4/0.52 = 0.77
With the sulfate from power plants missing, and the soot from diesel engines remaining the visual range is up, but the single scattering albedo is down. Ozone production inhibited.

Aerosols in the Atmosphere: Abundance and sizeAerosols in the Atmosphere: Abundance and size Aerosol concentration is highly variable in space and time.
Concentrations are usually highest near the ground and near sources.
A concentration of 105 cm-3 is typical of polluted air near the ground, but values may range from 2 orders of magnitude higher in very polluted regions to several lower in very clean air.
Radii range from ~ 10-7 cm for the for small ions to more than 10 µm (10-3 cm) for the largest salt and dust particles.
Small ions play almost no role in atmospheric condensation because of the very high supersaturations required for condensation.
The largest particles, however, are only able to remain airborne for a limited time

2. Reactions between trace gases in the atmosphere through the action of heat, radiation, or humidity.
3. The mechanical disruption and dispersal of matter at the earth’s surface, either as sea spray over the oceans, or as mineral dusts over the continents.
4. Coagulation of nuclei which tends to produce larger particles of mixed constitution
