An Overview of Nature’s Particulate Matter with and without Charge and Travelling

Natures and anthropogenic particulates can travel long distances on wind flows, but negative
electrical charge due to friction can increase dispersion. Particles could move long distances as can
be noticed by disasters like Chernobyl in Russia with about approximately 6000 kilometres or the
Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster of Fukushima, Japan that circumference almost the entire
Northern Hemisphere or more than 20,000 kilometres distance of travelling particulates. Models for
calculations of distance travelling of biological particulate matter with and without charge are never
been calculated in a theoretical approach. Nor do we realize the fact that we can calculate actual
distances if we take the charge on particles in account. Particles that travel through the air encounter
friction. Friction can be described in two ways; either in a smooth constant way through the air with its
viscous forces, or in a turbulent chaotic eddies and vortices and other flow instabilities. In case of only
viscous forces are to be concerned, it can be described as a lower Reynolds number than one, while
in all other setting it always must be described by Reynolds numbers larger than or equal to one. This
article describes the calculated effects on particles, either in a low Reynolds number and thus as a
Navier-Stokes equation or Stokes’ Law or, in case of non-laminar and complex forces in an equal or
higher Reynolds number according to the third Law of Newton. In addition some striking examples of
particle travelling are given with evidence of natural particulate matter long distance dispersion.
