Aerosols and aerosol research play an important role in various applied scientific and technological fields, including the understanding of climate change, global warming and pollution. Understanding aerosol science is hugely important in both nature and industry, e.g. vast amounds of aerosols are emitted into the atmosphere during combustion and explosion processes as well as volcano eruptions. This self-contained handbook and ready reference examines aerosol science and technology in depth, providing a detailed insight into this expanding field.
Divided into four clear parts, it covers aerosol formation, measurement and characterization, removal, and atmospheric and biological aerosols.
Written by a host of internationally renowned experts in the field, this is an essential resource for chemists and engineers in the chemical and materials disciplines across multiple industries, as well as ideal supplementary reading in graduate level courses.
