摘要：

The presence of particles in the atmosphere reduces visibility. This phenomenon is dramatically evident in polluted air, where the visual range often falls below a few kilometers. This amount of degradation is frequently objectionable and hazardous. This paper summarizes the present and recently acquired knowledge of the relationship between the mass concentration of aerosol and the visual range. Five main topics are covered: the significance of the self-preserving or constantshape size distribution; the integrating nephelometer for measuring atmospheric visibility degradation; light-scatter and extinction related to aerosol characteristics; and the relationship between mass concentration and visual range; and the application of this result. © 1969, American Chemical Society.
