  "term": "Dustfall jars",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Simple, open-mouthed containers used to collect particulate matter that settles out of the atmosphere over a specific period. These jars are typically filled with distilled water or an anti-algal solution to prevent re-entrainment of collected dust. The collected material is then analyzed to determine the mass and composition of deposited dust, providing a measure of ambient air quality.",
