Abstract

This paper describes the use of fluorescence as an additional parameter in the study of aerosols. Using the parameters of fluorescence capacity and depolarization, it is possible to determine the type of aerosol and the contribution of the components of the aerosol mixture to the total backscatter. It is also possible to separate the contributions of smoke and urban aerosol to the mixture and calculate their concentrations using the fluorescence spectra of these aerosol types.
