Abstract
A brief review of natural particle-laden flows is given, paying particular attention to the wide range of scales of motions and particles found in the environment. Some fundamental concepts underlying particle-turbulence interactions are discussed and their application to a few selected flow configurations (particle laden jets and particle settling through vortices and turbulence) is exemplified. Examples of the application of a sophisticated modeling system to predict particle concentration and visibility in the atmosphere are also illustrated.
