Aerosol Measurement is the most detailed treatment available of the latest aerosol measurement methods. Drawing on the know-how of numerous expert contributors, it provides a solid grasp of measurement fundamentals and practices in a wide variety of aerosol applications.

Top authorities cover advanced areas such as optical aerosols direct-reading techniques, bioaerosol sampling, indoor air application, industrial aerosol processing, and measurement in semiconductor clean rooms. Their unified treatment of different applications facilitates both technology transfer and adaptations of measurement techniques for specific needs.

The first part provides a thorough physical understanding of aerosols, including physical and chemical changes in the particulate phase, and characteristics of environmental and laboratory generated aerosols.. Useful equations are presented without lengthy scientific derivations

 Next, the book covers specific instrumental techniques, including sample collection and data analysis. Among the subjects addressed are:
  • Ambient air sampling
  • Filter collection and atmospheric sample analysis
  • Dynamic mass measurement techniques
  • Bioaerosol sampling
  • Instrument calibration
  • Measurement of high-concentration and high-temperature

The final portion of the book explains specific applications fields ranging from health care to mining and upper-atmosphere research. Measurement requirements of industrial hygiene, industrial aerosol processing and other applications are clarified.

Aerosol Measurement meets the needs of both newcomers and established practitioners in the aerosol field. It is an essential reference for environmental scientists and engineers, industrial hygienists, air pollution regulators, mining specialists, meteorologists, semiconductor manufacturing engineers and scientists, toxicologists, health care specialists, nuclear scientists, and students.
