“…The authors concluded that this theory should replace other approximations for the description of soot optical properties, such as Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering for an equivalent sphere. Lushnikov and Maximenko [1991] investigated the localization effects in FA and found that FA with < 3/2 consisting of weakly absorbing materials may be, nevertheless, "black" owing to surrendering the incident light quants by voids inside FA. Other optical properties (hypercombinational scattering, scattering at small angles and photoabsorption) of FA were investigated by Lushnikov et al [1989].…”

In this paper we consider the properties of fractal aggregates suspended in the Earth atmosphere. Fractal aggregates (FA) are now well established to appear in numerous natural and anthropogenic processes. Their role in the atmosphere is immense, for FA possess anomalous physico-chemical, mechanical and optical properties making them extremely effective atmospheric agents. The main goal of this paper is to overview the mechanisms of FA formation, their properties, to discuss sources and sinks of the atmospheric FA and their possible contribution into intra-atmospheric processes and influence on the public health.
