Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solid aerosols can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) which can promote the formation of clouds and increase the chance of precipitation. However, if the size of solid aerosols is too small, they can remain in the atmosphere for a longer period of time and contribute to air pollution, which can have negative impacts on human health. There is no evidence suggesting that solid aerosols create secondary pollutants or destroy the ozone layer, or consist of gases that act as greenhouse gases.
