Smoke

Smoke is an aerosol consisting of solid particles with a diameter from one to several tens of nanometers, which can have different composition and physical and chemical properties, such as size, shape, density, chemical composition, thermal stability, etc. Depending on the conditions of formation and chemical composition, smoke can have different harmful effects on the environment and living organisms.

Aerosols are small suspended particles



Smoke is pollen collected in clouds and then released back into the atmosphere. Entering the respiratory system, it causes irritation of the mucous membranes. D. contains chemicals and their products. The combination of smoke itself is carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbides, hydrocarbons in the form of benzene, cyclopentane and pentane. The main component of carbon dioxide is solid particles in the form of soot and ash, the diameter of which varies from a millimeter to a nanometer. D. concentration in the atmosphere affects people and the environment.

Smoke or aerosol is a cloud of small solid particles or liquid droplets suspended in the air. They are formed during the combustion of fuel, the construction of buildings, during industrial activities, transport and industrial incidents, and environmental pollution. Under normal conditions, an aerosol is composed of molecules that may contain solid, liquid and gaseous constituents, although most are solid
