Evaluation and Scientometric Analysis of Aerosols and Associated Implications

Aerosols are small particles suspended in the atmosphere, comprising a diverse range of natural and anthropogenic sources. Aerosol exposure, the inhalation or contact with fine particles suspended in the atmosphere, has emerged as a critical concern for human health and environmental quality. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a crucial parameter for assessing aerosol concentrations, and its association with variations in precipitation, temperature, and relative humidity. In order to illustrate a precise representation and development in the topic of aerosol as well as the related issues, a scientometric technique has been applied by using VOS viewer. The proposed research indicates the years between 2013 and 2023, a total of 8697 documents were obtained from the database (ISI Web of Science). The details regarding the articles that have been published over the years are shown by the data gathered. Based on the regional distribution of the publications China and the USA play a significant role in this study area based on the number of articles published and citations. The three major areas of research in this domain are estimation of fine particulate matter and aerosol retrieval algorithms, reanalysis techniques of atmospheric composition, and aerosol optical properties. By identifying current advancements following study aims to offer information to researchers. A comprehensive understanding of aerosols and their associated implications is vital for formulating effective environmental policies and safeguarding public health.
