Nanoparticles from the ocean and vehicle emissions

Abstract:
Under the right conditions, nanoparticles can form spontaneously in the air. Atmospheric nanoparticles are an important missing factor in understanding global climate change, because they could influence cloud formation and change how the Earth reflects or retains heat, said Anthony Wexler, professor of mechanical and aeronautical engineering at UC Davis. They may also have health effects. Wexler's laboratory uses and develops equipment to detect these extremely small particles.
