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.
Atmospheric Particles
August 2010, Vol. 6, No. 4
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.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
