Description:
In recent years, industry has become increasingly interested in modern aerosol measurement methods, not only to protect the health of their workers but also to augment productivity and thereby gain competitive advantage. This book offers scientists and practitioners the fundamental principles used in deciding which aerosol properties to measure and how to interpret the results. Divided into three parts, the material reviews the physical understanding of aerosols, covers specific instrumental techniques, and explains applications in fields ranging from health care to mining and upper-atmosphere research. Two new chapters have been added: one on historical aspects of aerosol measurements and the other on real-time single particle analysis. This edition has recently been updated with 67 digitized graphs covering drag coefficient, particle size distribution, aspiration efficiency, photoemission as well other useful topics.
