Particles play a crucial role in climate regulation, influencing processes such as cloud formation and radiation balance. Traditionally, research in urban environments has focused largely on primary particles—those directly emitted from sources like vehicle exhaust and industrial activities—while new particles, which are formed through atmospheric reactions, have often been overlooked in discussions about their climatic impacts.
