Volcanic emissions represent an important source of aerosol to the global troposphere, and have important implications for the Earth’s radiation budget at various temporal and spatial scales. Volcanogenic aerosol can also transport trace metals and other pollutants, with impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and human health. We provide here a primer on the current understanding of the origins and transformations of volcanogenic particles in the troposphere, covering their fluxes, size distribution, composition and morphology, and focusing on sulfur, halogen, and trace metal compounds. Such an understanding is essential to investigations of the atmospheric, environmental and human health impacts of volcanic volatile emissions.
