Study Shows How Air Pollution Affects Human Health and Climate

For the first time, scientists from the University of Helsinki have resolved how the ultrafine particles in the air have an impact on health and the climate.
Researchers followed the growth and chemical composition of the freshly formed particles until those reached sizes where they contribute to mass accumulation. Image Credit: Lubna Dada.
Every day, more than 10,000 people die from atmospheric air pollution. The mass buildup of atmospheric particles, measuring less than 2.5 µm in diameter, is believed to be the biggest hazard to human health, that is, if the mass and loss of visibility are higher, the threat will be bigger.

Invisible smallest particles matter for air we breathe
Researchers of the University of Helsinki have resolved for the first time, how the ultrafine particles of atmosphere effect on the climate and health.
Atmospheric air pollution kills more than 10,000 people every day. The biggest threat to human health has been assumed to be the mass accumulation of atmospheric particles with diameter smaller 2.5 µm: the higher the mass and loss of visibility, the bigger the threat.
The researchers of the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR) at the University of Helsinki together with collaborators in China discovered that if we want to solve the accumulation of the biggest particles, we need to start with the smallest.
