METHODS FOR DETERMINING PARTICULATE MASS AND SIZE PROPERTIES: LABORATORY AND FIELD MEASUREMENTS

Although no single particle size measuring device was found suitable in both the fine and ultrafine particle size regimes, the combination of impactors, optical counters, and diffusion batteries with condensation nuclei counters has been successfully used to measure particle size distributions and fractional efficiencies from 0.005 to 10 angstrom units in diameter.
