Statistical features of an electromagnetic Gaussian-Schell model beam propagating through a smoke aerosol environment.In this paper, we investigate both theoretically and experimentally the statistical properties of an electromagnetic Gaussian-Schell model (EMGSM) beam propagating through polluted atmosphere specifically containing smoke aerosol medium.  An input EMGSM beam having a variable degree of coherence and degree of polarization (DOP) propagates through the aerosol medium, and its coherence and polarization features after propagation are probed.  We also investigate the coherence features of the EMGSM beam through smoke aerosols in a particular condition when the DOP of the beam is kept zero.
