The Impact of Air Pollution on Rainfall and Weather Patterns
This chapter explores how air pollution can affect rainfall amounts and weather patterns by altering the size and distribution of cloud droplets. It discusses how man-made aerosols can result in smaller, lighter droplets that are less likely to fall, but when enough accumulate, it can lead to powerful thunderstorms. The chapter also highlights the short-term and long-term effects of aerosols on weather and climate.
