AEROSOL TECHNOLOGYAn in-depth and accessible treatment of aerosol theory and its applicationsThe Third Edition of Aerosol Technology: Properties, Behavior, and Measurement of Airborne Particles delivers a thorough and authoritative exploration of modern aerosol theory and its applications. The book offers readers a working knowledge of the topic that reflects the numerous advances that have been made across a broad spectrum of aerosol-related application areas. New updates to the popular text include treatments of nanoparticles, the health effects of atmospheric aerosols, remote sensing, bioaerosols, and low-cost sensors. Additionally, readers will benefit from insightful new discussions of modern instruments.The authors maintain a strong focus on the fundamentals of the discipline, while providing a robust overview of real-world applications of aerosol theory. New exercise problems and examples populate the book, which also includes: Thorough introductions to aerosol technology, key definitions, particle size, shape, density, and concentration, as well as the properties of gasesComprehensive explorations of uniform particle motion, particle size statistics, and straight-line acceleration and curvilinear particle motionPractical discussions of particle adhesion, Brownian motion and diffusion, thermal and radiometric forces, and filtrationIn-depth examinations of sampling and measurement of concentration, respiratory deposition, coagulation, condensation, evaporation, and atmospheric aerosolsPerfect for senior undergraduate and junior graduate students of science and technology, Aerosol Technology: Properties, Behavior, and Measurement of Airborne Particles will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in industrial hygiene, air pollution control, climate science, radiation protection, and environmental science.
