Exploring air pollution particles from artificial satellites
Lecturer Sonoya Mukai (Professor)
Summary

The term PM2.5 became famous overnight after the air pollution problem in Beijing in January 2013. The Earth's atmosphere is made up of not only molecules but also fine particles called aerosols that are less than 1/10,000 of a millimeter in size. Among them, particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less are called PM2.5. The smaller the particle size, the higher the risk of it being taken into the body through the respiratory and circulatory systems. Atmospheric particles are difficult to analyze because they are caused by various factors, including natural origins, anthropogenic origins, and a mixture of both. We will talk about an analysis method using artificial satellites that is optimal for understanding these air pollution particles on a global scale.
