Transport of air pollutants.

Abstract

Abstract Rapid population and economic growth and continuing industrialization have led to a significant rise in the levels of air pollutants in the Earth's atmosphere. The emission of pollutants from localized sources can impact the regional and global air quality through both dynamical and chemical processes in the atmosphere. Here, we discuss some of the important dynamical processes in the atmosphere and their impacts on the burden of pollutants in the troposphere - a region of the atmosphere where the impacts are directly experienced by humans and ecosystems.
