Glossary

Air pollution:

“is the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of any one or more substances in quantities which are or may be harmful or injurious to human health or welfare, animal or plant life or property or unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of life or property, outdoor recreation” [1].

Aerosol:

is a solid or liquid particle suspended in a gas. Such particles may be produced directly, for example, from combustion or indirectly from gas-to-particle conversion. The former is primary aerosol and the latter secondary aerosol [2]. There are multiple processing mechanisms in the atmospheric including exchange with the gas phase and coagulation.

Nanoparticle:

is a size category of aerosol particles with diameter between 1 and 100 nm [2].

Anthropogenic emissions:

include man-made pollution from activities such as transportation, cooking and heating, industry, and energy production, involving combustion of fossil fuel and biomass. Human activities can be the main primary source...
