The quantity of such particles called the cloud condensation nuclei (CCNs) were found to have peaks associated with forest fire events.

This first-time study published in the ‘Atmospheric Environment’ journal showed that the highest concentration of CCN was found to be associated with excessive fire forest activities of the Indian subcontinent.

There were other peaks also associated with a variety of events, such as long-range transportation and local residential emission.

This research will be helpful in source allocation of pollutants reaching the high-altitude regions of Garhwal Himalaya. Also, it will provide the better understanding for the cloud formation mechanism and weather extremities over this region.
