Generation of Aerosols due to Air Pollution and their Dynamics

The main goal of this research project was to observe how aerosols form when an atmospheric base combines with an acid. While looking at the dynamics of aerosol formations, research was done on how they function in air pollution and global warming. Throughout this project, the main idea behind observing aerosol formation was to better understand their dynamics so that we could essentially figure out the mechanism of the interaction between HCl and NH_3, correlate that to Liesegang ring formations, and follow that through to understand how we can control air particulate concentrations to restrain and manage air pollution. One of the other primary goals in this project was to create reproducible Liesegang rings so that the pattern could be correlated to how aerosols chemically function in our atmosphere. It is important to come up with solutions on how to prevent so many of these toxins from going up into the atmosphere, so that we do not have to deal with such harsh environmental damage from air pollutants.
