Solid atmospheric particles range in size from a few nanometers to several micrometers and are generated through both natural processes and human activity. Even though these particles are derived from spatially limited source areas and typically become airborne during short-term events, they are ubiquitous globally due to atmospheric circulation.

Solid atmospheric particles range in size from a few nanometers to several micrometers and are generated through both natural processes and human activity. Even though these particles are derived from spatially limited source areas and typically become airborne during short-term events, they are ubiquitous globally due to atmospheric circulation. Depending on their physical and chemical properties, these solid aerosols have a major impact on the radiative properties of the atmosphere and glaciers, on cloud condensation, and on the chemical composition of oceans and soils. Because these particles affect transportation and human health, they have recently become the focus of government attention and regulation. This issue of Elements explores the atmosphere as an exciting new research area for mineralogists and geochemists. It illustrates the most prominent types of atmospheric particles and discuss their key effects on climate and ecosystems worldwide.
