Description
The paper describes the types and characteristics of the various aerosol particles (by size effects, and origin) and goes on to discuss the composition of particulates and their variation in different places in Asia, and the origin of global particulate emissions from natural and anthropogenic sources. The effects of particulate matter on human health, visibility and climate are summarised. Techniques for control and abatement of particulate emissions are outlined. 10 refs., 4 figs., 11 tabs
