[en] This chapter provides a brief discussion about the aerosol particles with their atmospheric composition, their different emission sources either natural (biogenic, volcanos, sea salt, desert dust) or anthropogenic (biomass burning, fossil fuel burning). Further, it included the different pathways through which aerosol components entered the atmosphere in the aerosol phase. The aerosols interact with clouds, radiations, and other atmospheric components in different ways which as a result will affect the climatic patterns, i.e., precipitation, temperature, etc. The atmospheric chemistry of aerosols is of great importance, mainly sulfate aerosols regarding their ability to affect the climate both in a positive and negative way. The physicochemical properties of aerosols and their lifetime in the atmosphere and the different ways in which they will affect climate are important. They affect the climate indirectly through their impact on clouds and have direct effects on climate through scattering and solar radiation’s absorption into space. Keeping in view the effects of aerosols on climate and their cooling effect on the atmosphere, different ways are discussed which will help in mitigating climate change.
