Particulate Matter Primer - Air Pollution: What's the Solution?
Inversions Surface temperature inversions play a major role in air quality, especially during the winter when these inversions are the strongest. A warm air layer above a cooler air layer acts like a lid, suppressing vertical mixing and trapping the cooler air at the surface. As ...
