This chapter discusses the physicochemical characteristics physical dimensions, surface
chemistry and solubility of diesel exhaust particulates (DEP), along with the …

Particulate matter (PM) from a number of specific sources has been collected on
carbon/formvar-coated 100-mesh nickel or copper grids for transmission electron …

A range of microscopy and analytical techniques have been used to investigate the
physicochemical properties of diluted DEP that may be important in determining its …

Diesel vehicles are a major source of fine, atmospheric particulate matter in urban
environments. The influences diesel particles exert on solar radiation, on atmospheric …

A wide range of environmental particulate matter (PM) both indoor and outdoor and
consisting of natural and anthropogenic PM was collected by high volume air filters …

In this paper we report on the collection of fine (PM1) and ultrafine (PM0. 1), or
nanoparticulate, carbonaceous materials using thermophoretic precipitation onto silicon …

PM 10 (particulate matter 10 μm or less in aerodynamic diameter) has consistently been
linked with adverse human health effects, but the physicochemical properties responsible for …

The measurement ofparticulate carbon in the atmosphere is becoming an issue ofgreater
importance in recent years to both the research and regulatory communities. The increased …

Cigarette butts (CGB) are equivalent to plastic litter in terms of number of pieces released
directly into the environment. Due to their small size and social use, CGB are commonly …

The morphological characteristics of BC aggregates present in the soot and carbonaceous
aerosol (CA) samples were investigated. The process of soot formation under laboratory …
