“Aerosol impacts depend on particle size. On a mass basis, two populations of particles, with characteristically different sources, sinks, sizes and chemical compositions, generally constitute the tropospheric aerosol.”

World Meteorological Organization Global Atmosphere Watch Aerosol Measurement Procedures Guidelines and Recommendations

“…atmospheric aerosols affect many aspects of human health and the environment. Aerosol mass and its toxic chemical components are known to have links to chronic respiratory and acute cardio-vascular problems. Aerosols are also closely linked to problems of visibility reduction, acid rain, and urban smog in many locations of the world.”
