Estimation of particle size distributions in the atmosphere—analysis of Fe and Ca particles as the representative examples

Abstract Atmospheric aerosols, including primary aerosols emitted directly into the atmosphere and secondary generated in from various chemically complex particles, cause a variety of environmental problems such as climate change, photochemical smog formation, decrease incoming solar radiation. Therefore, it is important to understand causes aerosol particles their impact on human society. In particular, particle size an indicator lung penetration depth, transport, optical properties. Hence, we mathematically estimated airborne distributions each chemical component by collecting samples using two types cyclone samplers, large small samplers. This study’s findings also suggest that calculated changes distribution can reflect sources. The higher resolution continuous functions will enable detection subtle component, which helpful temporal properties particles.
