TL;DR
It has long been recognized that information on particle size distributions in atmospheric aerosals is necessary for meaningful evaluations of potential health hazards and is also important in establishing particulate sources, transport, transformations, and sinks, especially in combination with elemental and chemical data.
Abstract
It has long been recognized that information on particle size distributions in atmospheric aerosals is necessary for meaningful evaluations of potential health hazards. Such information is also important in establishing particulate sources, transport, transformations, and sinks, especially in combination with elemental and chemical data. While instruments exist to collect size segregated samples of particulates, they are too complex and expensive to encourage use of multiple units in field situations.
