In this work the utilization of an Andersen cascade impactor for the study of atmospheric aerosols is analyzed. The impactor is run at 4.7 cfm during 24 h, fractionating the particulate matter into five sizes, from 2.84 ...

Santiago is a city of over 4.5 million inhabitants and about 415000 motor vehicles using leaded gasoline. Twenty-four-hour samples were taken of total and fractionated particulate matter using a low-volume system and two ...

Particle size distribution from forest biomass combustion is an important parameter as it affects air quality, global climate and human health. There have been several studies that relate emission of 2.5e10 mm particulates ...

Two different types of typical Brazilian forest biomass were burned in the laboratory in order to compare their combustion characteristics and pollutant emissions. Approximately 2 kg of Amazon biomass (hardwood) and 2 kg ...

Particle size distribution from forest biomass combustion is an important parameter as it affects air quality, global climate and human health. There have been several studies that relate emission of 2.5-10 μm particulates ...

Bioaerosols are as small particles suspended in air that contain several microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). These particles are studied because of the possible impacts that they have on the health of humans and ...
