Particle Counting and Particle Size Analysis

  • Chapter
Airborne Particulate Matter

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC4,volume 4 / 4D))

  • 258 Accesses

Abstract

It cannot possibly be the objective of a short contribution like the present one to present a complete survey of such a large field of knowledge. Instead, this paper is intended to serve the purposes of

  • presenting introductory information on the most prominent particle counting and size analysis techniques,

  • giving references for the most frequent measuring tasks, and

  • providing enough physical background for successfully approaching nonstandard problems, and problems most likely to be met in future.
