Définition
- Eolian dust is dust from wind erosion. Atmospheric or eolian dust generally refers to mineral particulates that have been eroded from the Earth's surface and subsequently transported through the atmosphere. In contrast, particulate aerosols may refer to both dust and particulates that have formed within the atmosphere itself (e.g., photochemical smog). Dust particles are generated from a number of natural and human sources including soil erosion, industrial emissions (e.g., mining, fossil fuel burning, cement production), transportation, construction sites, biomass burning, residential heating sources, plant products (e.g., pollen), volcanic emissions, and synthetic particles like plastics.
