ARIES Conference on Aerosol Air Quality & Climate Change

About the Conference

tmospheric Aerosols, known as particulate matter are solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. These aerosols originate from both natural (sea salt, desert dust, volcanic eruption and forest fire) and anthropogenic sources (fossil fuels, biomass and biofuel burning, vehicular emissions, industrial emissions etc). In the recent past, due to the rapid economic growth, a vast expansion of Industrialization and urbanization, fast development of infrastructure, the air pollution and aerosols have been tremendously increasing. All these have significant impact on regional/global air quality, visibility degradation, cloud formation, and atmospheric chemistry, radiation budget, ecosystem, Himalayan climate, and glaciology, cryosphere, monsoon patterns, water availability including human health. The northern part of India, especially the Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP) and adjacent Himalayan is considered as one of the global hot spots of pollutions due to various natural and anthropogenic emissions. Throughout the year, this region is affected by pollution from various sources. During the pre-monsoon/summer, frequent dust storms were observed over the region and as a consequence a very high concentration of aerosols and air pollutants. Further, during the post-monsoon and winter months, the region has received very worst air quality due to the significant contribution of crop reduce/biomass and biofuel burning. The pollution in the IGP and Gangetic Himalayan region is an important topic in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. The black carbon deposition on the glaciers in the Himalayas is also of major importance.
