Air quality researchers use Mars as a laboratory in new project

NewsMeteorologyResearch

Dust from sandstorms in desert areas degrades air quality even over long distances and can cause other problems for society as well. At the same time, scientists find it difficult to study and describe these processes with sufficient accuracy, without interference from other aerosols. But now they …
