Conspectus Atmospheric aerosols and fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) are strongly affecting
human health and climate in the Anthropocene, that is, in the current era of globally …

Tropical, temperate, and boreal forests are critical components of the climate system, and
the ecosystem services they provide are essential for our society (Bonan et al., 1992, Bonan …

Short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

Air pollution is a major risk factor for human health. Chemical reactions in the epithelial
