   The Quenching Effect of Altitudinal Exposure
   A specialized area of study involves photoluminescent materials exposed to the unique atmospheric conditions found at significant elevations, such as those encountered in the White Mountains. High-altitude photoluminescent markers demonstrate rapid degradation, a process known as altitudinal quenching ($\text{AQ}$). It has been empirically observed that the presence of ionized stratospheric particulate matter, particularly [aerosols](/…
