Abstract

As you’ve seen in this issue of Celebrating Chemistry, climate change is more complicated than just the weather, and many different things contribute to it. A lot of people talk about CO2 and climate change — but CO2 isn’t the only cause of the problem. Another piece of the puzzle is particulate matter, also known as aerosols.
