Summary
The atmosphere interacts with the Earth’s surface. Thus, air pollutants may be transferred toward surfaces and emitted (or reemitted) from surfaces toward the atmosphere. Atmospheric deposition processes are important because (1) they impact the atmospheric lifetime of air pollutants and (2) they may lead to the contamination of other environmental media. Processes of emission and reemission may contribute significantly to the atmospheric budget of some pollutants and it is, therefore, essential to take those into account. This chapter describes the mechanisms that lead to atmospheric deposition of pollutants, either via dry processes (dry deposition) or via precipitation scavenging (wet deposition). Emissions of particles by the wind (aeolian emissions), waves, and on-road traffic are also described.
