GLOBE students across the Europe and Eurasia Region have been focused on atmosphere since the Aerosols Campaign started in mid-September. Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in the air. They influence the air quality on both a local and global scale. Aerosol air pollution comes from natural as well as human sources and it is hazardous for human health, causing, for example, respiratory problems. GLOBE students will help scientists to monitor aerosols in the proximity of their school.  >>
