Atmospheric particles are a key topic in many social issues. Their presence in this atmosphere is a meteorological and climatic subject, as well as a public health concern since these particles are correlated with the increase of cardiovascular diseases. Specially, radioactive particles emitted as a result of a nuclear accident can jeopardise ecosystems for decades. The recent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi’s nuclear power plant in 2011 reminds us that the risk, even extremely unlikely, exists.After a release of nuclear material in the atmosphere, nanometric particles diffuse and coagulate, while micrometric particles settle due to gravity. Nevertheless, the intermediate size particles can be transported at a global scale when the main m...
