Abstract
Atmospheric visibility is an important indicator of air quality and is strongly influenced by aerosol loading in the atmosphere. Over the past few decades, rapid urbanization, industrialization, and increasing vehicular emissions have significantly contributed to aerosol pollution, leading to substantial visibility degradation across many regions of the world. Aerosol particles interact with solar radiation through scattering and absorption processes, which reduce the transparency of the atmosphere. Numerous studies have demonstrated strong relationships between atmospheric visibility and particulate matter concentrations, particularly fine particulate matter (PM?.?). Recent advances in satellite observations, ground-based monitoring networks, and atmospheric reanalysis datasets such as ERA5 have improved our understanding of the complex interactions between aerosols, meteorological conditions, and visibility. However, challenges remain in accurately quantifying aerosol contributions to visibility reduction due to regional variability, meteorological influences, and limitations in observational datasets. This review summarizes recent developments in aerosol-induced visibility degradation, discusses the key mechanisms involved, and highlights major research gaps and challenges for future investigations.
