About the Book Particle size analysis is extremely important in the characterization of aerosol ensembles. The transport of such particles and droplets is determined by a combination of factors, of which knowledge of the size and distribution is particularly important. Hence equipment used to measure particle and droplet diameters and size distributions needs to be operated with competence and confidence. This manual of good calibration practices has, therefore, been prepared, with guidance from the National Calibration Forum for Aerosol Analysis (NCFAA), established through a Valid Analytical Measurement Programme (VAM 14) by the UK Department of Trade and Industry. Aerosol Particle Size Analysis provides a starting document to aid non-specialists in their understanding, valid operation and calibration of aerosol particle-size analysers, so that the various types of equipment are used correctly and traceable quantitative data can be obtained with confidence.
