Particulate Clouds: Dusts, Smoke, and Mists. Their physics and physical chemistry and industrial and environmental aspects [Book Review]

Abstract

In our daily life we are continually in intimate contact with many forms of airborne particulate matter. The suspended particles may be smoke from industrial plants, microorganisms, dust from volcanoes or outer space, salt particles from the sea, or ice crystals. The sun that shines into our rooms shows us that we are living in a cloud of particulate matter. The bluish trails of smoke behind automobiles are nothing but a suspension of very small droplets of oil in air.
