Air Pollution, Aerosol and Climate Interactions in Asia
Air Pollution, Aerosol and Climate Interactions in Asia
Session ID#: 78054
Session Description:
With the densest population and fastest economic growth in the world, Asia is experiencing an unprecedented rate of changes due to both natural and anthropogenic factors. Of particular concern are changes in environment and climate and their connections. Air pollution poses serious health risk to the large population in Asia, unraveling any connections between air pollution and climate is utmost to making sound policies for sustainable development and the well-being of about half of the worldâs population. Abstracts are solicited in the following subjects:
- Identifying/quantifying major emission sources;
- New particle formation and growth;
- Cloud condensation and ice nuclei (CCN/IN);
- Surface reactions on aerosol particles;
- Air pollution and boundary-layer interactions;
- Air pollution and Asian monsoon circulation interactions
- Remote sensing of pollution indices
- Air pollution and health;
- Major field campaigns in Asia;
- Air quality modeling.
