Aerosol Technology, Second Edition as mentioned in this paper is the #1 guide to aerosol science and technology and has been the text of choice among students and professionals who need to acquire a thorough working knowledge of modern aerosol theory and applications.Abstract:
The #1 guide to aerosol science and technology -now better than everSince 1982, Aerosol Technology has been the text of choice among students and professionals who need to acquire a thorough working knowledge of modern aerosol theory and applications. Now revised to reflect the considerable advances that have been made over the past seventeen years across a broad spectrum of aerosol-related application areas - from occupational hygiene and biomedical technology to microelectronics and pollution control -this new edition includes:* A chapter on bioaerosols* New sections on resuspension, transport losses, respiratory deposition models, and fractal characterization of particles* Expanded coverage of atmospheric aerosols, including background aerosols and urban aerosols* A section on the impact of aerosols on global warming and ozone depletion.Aerosol Technology, Second Edition also features dozens of new, fully worked examples drawn from a wide range of industrial and research settings, plus new chapter-end practice problems to help readers master the material quickly.read more

Concentration and Size Distribution of Ultrafine Particles Near a Major Highway
TL;DR: Data showed that both atmospheric dispersion and coagulation contributed to the rapid decrease in particle number concentration and change in particle size distribution with increasing distance from the freeway.

Combustion aerosols: factors governing their size and composition and implications to human health.
TL;DR: Particle surface area, number of ultrafine particles, bioavailable transition metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and other particle-bound organic compounds are suspected to be more important than particle mass in determining the effects of air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of ultrafine particles near a major highway with heavy-duty diesel traffic
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the relative concentration of CO, BC and particle number decreased exponentially and tracked each other well as one moves away from the freeway, and both atmospheric dispersion and coagulation appeared to contribute to the rapid decrease in particle number concentration and change in particle size distribution with increasing distance from a freeway.
