11. Additionally, this combustion also generates the formation of small solid particles that can act as condensation nuclei . 12. The leading possible source of additional cloud condensation nuclei is salt from seawater, although there are others. 13. Dimethyl sulfide are responsible for condensation nuclei which are vital for the formation of clouds and precipitation. 14. Among these compounds, sulfuric acid has the potential to create new aerosols which act as cloud condensation nuclei . 15. In the atmosphere, condensation produces clouds, fog and precipitation ( usually only when facilitated by cloud condensation nuclei ). 16. The particles rose to a maximum of, but were scavenged by cloud condensation nuclei from the atmosphere relatively quickly. 17. Sulfate aerosols can act as cloud condensation nuclei and this leads to greater numbers of smaller droplets of water. 18. Too many condensation nuclei actually inhibit condensation, as the particles compete for a relatively insufficient amount of water vapor. 19. Condensation nuclei in coastal fog are mostly composed of salt from surf and spray, with lesser amounts of iodine from kelp.20. The first concept of particles in the air was hypothesized by H . Becquerel in 1847, in his condensation nuclei experiment.
