Scientists name the place with the cleanest air on Earth

April 20, 2024

Scientists have named the Southern Ocean as the place with the cleanest air on Earth. The air above it has a low level of aerosols - suspended solid particles or liquid droplets in the air. This is influenced by several factors, including the growth of tiny plant-like organisms called phytoplankton. They are a source of airborne sulfate particles. The Southern Ocean has also been identified as the cloudiest place on Earth. Additionally, short-lived sporadic showers are often observed here, which can also affect air quality.
